The Brace! 2 weeks after SARPE turning

So, a day after I had stopped turning I was finally ready for the brace! Yes I look hideous but at least with the brace it looked like I was having something done rather than just looking like I had no front teeth. The bar across the gap was a bit of a shock but there's no other way! Now all I wanted was for the gap to close but now that my palate was at it's desired width I had to wait for new bone to form which would mean at least 6 weeks of the dreaded gap before they even tried to close it....this sucked!
