One huge change that I've made so far has to be getting veneers. For as long as I could remember, I was so shy about my teeth because I had a high canine (or a snaggle tooth) while the rest of my teeth were pretty straight. Throughout life, I just noticed a lot of people didn't have my issue, so it just made me feel uncomfortable and super self-conscious.

I trained my mouth to move a certain way, and of course, when I had to laugh, I would try to do it with my mouth pretty much closed or quickly cover my teeth with my hand. Crazy, I know. But again it was just such a massive insecurity of mine that I never really got over. 

After my mid-twenties, I started to get fed up and was like I NEED to figure this out. I didn't want my wedding day to come around and not be able to enjoy the day or be able to smile over one misplaced tooth. 

I started doing a lot of research, and right away, I crossed off braces. It would just take way too long, and the shape of my tooth was super sharp, so even if it were straightened out, I still wouldn't be happy with it. 

Next option was Invisalign, and I was so excited to start on that but the more dentists I had consultations with, the more I realized it's not a guarantee that Invisalign could help me. Moving a canine tooth is super hard, so that's another alternative that I had to cross off.

Finally, I came across Dr. Sam Saleh's Instagram page and thought, why not!? Let me reach out and see if it's possible to get this done. Other dentists had told me I couldn't fix this with veneers previously, but seeing his amazing smile makeovers just made me think it's worth a shot.

After our consultation, he let me know it was doable, and from then everything happened so quickly and easily. I've posted a detailed video about all of that on YouTube so you can check it out here, but now that it's been over two years I thought it was time for an update.

Since getting my veneers done, honestly, I feel like my life has changed, which I know may sound dramatic but hear me out lol. I remember smiling big like an actual real smile without being insecure, and I was like what?? I have dimples!? No clue until my late 20s! 😂 But other than how great it felt to have nice teeth, also internally I feel like it just lifted this weight off my shoulders that would be a concern day to day.

I felt so free to smile, laugh, talk, and enjoy my life without thinking so hard about something as dumb as a misplaced tooth. Even on my wedding day, I was SO thankful that I was happy with my smile and could enjoy our day fully.

I still get asked if it was worth it since veneers are not cheap and for me, yes it was. Since it affected the way I lived my life, I felt like it was much deeper than having a beautiful smile. The effort it took to cover my tooth was so draining that the whole process was SO worth it, and I would do it all over again if I had to.

I just uploaded my veneers update video where I go over a lot of frequently asked questions like the price, pain, and regrets so make sure you check that out here if you're interested.
