Re: Re: did u have these?

[Guest guest]

Hi Sara,

i just found out that after all this yeear of Braces

and other stuff that i have the gummy smile and over

bite bc of my upper jaw and lower jaw. So really was

it as bad as it seems? I have my wisdom teeth out and

it wa not fun but i was luck it didn't hurt. I

swelled like mad and i still had swwelling for 6

month, even thou a normal person could tell. So i'm

not so scared as to the pain i deal with it but the

swelling and the eating is kinda got me thinking? any

words of wisdom.
