Before I started braces at Dr. Talbot's, I could not bite through hardly anything. There were several millimeters of space between my top and bottom teeth. Enough space that with my mouth closed I could stick my tongue through that gap. A couple of years later (and an investment) my bite is improved, my speech is better, and my smile is taking shape. Just the other day I was starting to eat a sandwich and noticed 'hey, I can bite through bread and make a complete half moon shape, cool.'Definitely an improvement from before. My goals though this whole process were/are to be able to chew steak and other food with ease, speak clearly, and along the way I guess to maybe look better as well.
