OH! And by the way... I think I should mention something. My teeth are NOT badly crooked. (I will take a picture when I have time and put it in this post.)
I have only mild crowding on the bottom (and experience a slightly painful pressure due to this crowding). Up top, I have one canine that does not have enough room and sticks out very far. Other than that, my teeth are mostly aligned - other than my two front teeth slightly slanted inwards.
So my goal with this process is to finally feel very confident with my smile. I tend to find myself smiling with my mouth closed and trying to hide my protruding canine. I also do not want my lower (slightly) crooked teeth to keep getting worse with age, as my dentist has told me they would. (I have noticed them getting worse in the past four years, as well, so I believe they will keep getting worse if I don't do anything now.)
I am looking to widen my arch, giving it more of a "U" shape than a "V" shape ... and want my canine to finally be straight with my other teeth. In order to do this, by widening my jaw line, I will finally have room for this canine to 'fall into place.'
