I started out with a 9/10 (10 being the worst) for my case of crooked teeth, according to my orthodontist. I’m about a year into getting my teeth fixed. I’ve had a palette widener, teeth pulled, chains, braces, springs, and plenty of foreign objects shoved in my mouth. I’m currently using rubber bands to straighten my jaw, and I’m having a hard time being consistent with keeping them in. It’s so much easier to leave them out when you have the choice, unlike everything else they’ve put in my mouth. My next appointment is in 11 days, and if I keep my bands in almost 24 hours a day for the next 11 days I can get my jaw almost, if not precisely straight. I’m getting close to having straight teeth (minus one tooth that is about half an inch behind the rest). Only 1.5 – 2 years left :(

How I did it: I recently watched a wonderful movie with my girlfriend, and it had such a great impact on me. Immediately after I felt so changed, so enlightened, and I decided to be the person I wanted to be for my girlfriend. We loved each other before, but now I feel like I don't ever have to worry about disappointing her, because I will be more enthusiastic and open to her ideas, as well as the ideas of others, and be a better, more happy person. Read how I did it…
I love my girlfriend very much, and we’ve been going out for about 8 months now. I used to be really creative and used to surprise my girlfriend all the time with poems, art, flowers, chocolate, homemade dinners, movies, stories, hugs, kisses, and lots of little things I do just for her. I feel now that I haven’t really had any new ideas come to me, and that we’ve just been doing the same things for a while. I’d like to come up with something special, some plan, some gift, some game to play, anything.
