LaFonda E - Encino, California

How does your smile make you feel now?
Depressed. I cannot eat certain foods, I hate smiling and I have to wear a flipper because I'm missing a front tooth. The flipper makes it hard to speak and eat. I don't eat in front of people because I'm embarrassed I have to take it out. I don't feel confident or at my best because of my smile. I have felt this way since I was 8 - I'm 38 now.


What is the first thing you plan to do once you have your beautiful smile?
The very first thing I will do is thank God for all the wonderful people who made my smile possible. After that, I will take a ton of pictures because I have very few due to my feelings about my smile.
