Ahh, thanks
Haha, I have an on/off love/hate relationship with my eyebrows. I'm glad I don't have to pluck them (because it makes me sneeze! Hahahah), but sometimes the shape bothers me. I wish they had more of an arch to them. I actually haven't tried xen tan, but I've heard great things about it. Haven't seen it in Norway though.

i had pretty straight teeth, but a pretty bad under bite. I was teased horribly. On my first day of high school i was called Jay leno, someone asked if i could open bottles in my jaw, people used to talk about me when i walked by... Anyway! I got braces to make sure my teeth were perfect and then i had upper and lower jaw surgery. Basically they cut some bone out of my lower jaw, made it shorter, then cut my palette in half narrowed it. I have 6 screws in my bottom jaw, 4 plates in the top. It was a shitty situation, but i'm very happy with the results. Sometimes i still think my profile looks weird or fake... i had it done in 2002, but i'm finally getting used to/liking the way i look.
Smiles are such a sensitive issue with people. You smile when you're happy, laugh when somethings funny... its one of the first things people see. To feel shitty about you're smile really sucks.
Either way, you're teeth look GREAT! At first i thought you got veneers (and good ones to boot! not those big fake looking ones), keep up the good work with the retainer. I stopped wearing mine and my teeth went a tad crooked again, but i dont mind, you an barely notice.
and tahts my story of the night!

Oh my gosh, people can be so horrible. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I would FREAK OUT if I had to get jaw surgery! Surgeries in general scare me, but mouth surgery? -shudder-
I'm glad you're happy with your results! I'm sure you look great
Oh, and I'm actually getting veneers for two of my teeth when I'm 18
Because they are discolored from nerve damage, boo! That's a whole different story, involving a metal horse on a merry-go-round.

It's off-topic, but your cheeks are so cute! You've must had been a super pretty baby.

Thank you! Haha, actually ... I wasn't a very cute baby at all
Well, I was, up until I was about 2 years old ... Then I just ... Wasn't. Haha. Because I was really little and skinny, so I didn't have cute chubby cheeks or anything
Just a very skinny, and IMO, long, face. Which I still think I do, a little bit, but what can ya' do!

BTW I just want to commend you on your excellent English writing, if you're from Norway! I'm impressed...

Thank you so much
My dad and brother and I travelled to the US when I was 7 or so, so my dad started teaching us English a couple of months before. We learned a LOT on that trip. We've travelled there three times after that as well, so that helps a lot.
We've also had au pairs since I was pretty young, and we've always had to speak English with them for the first couple of months, so that's great practise too.
Oh, and I have a lot of American and British friends, so that's another thing that's helped a lot.

I wanted to get those invisible ones so badly, but hardly anyone does them here in Norway, and no one in my city

Where did you go in the US? Did you have a good time?

Thanks! We went all over the East Coast, really. We started out in New York, and we just drove around ... We went to North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois and Washington. And probably somewhere else that I forgot
We were actually looking at houses in North Carolina, my family is thinking of moving there!
