My Orthodontist found out that I work in Orthopaedics and she asked me to circulate invitations to a symposium her research team has put together. So, I did. I like my Orthodontist. Have I told the Dr. Lazy story yet? I don't remember. That's what Nate calls her because the type of braces I have are self-ligating, which means fewer visits and fewer adjustments. Also, her name is Dr. Frazier, so it kind of sounds like "Lazy." I certainly don't mean no respect. I have fun going to the Orthodontist, even when they're sticking sharp tools into my mouth. And the results I've seen in just 7 months are really amazing. Whenever Dr. Lazy sees how much my teeth have moved, she gets really surprised and excited and shows my "before" pictures to everyone in eyeshot. It's pretty understandable. My teeth were incredibly crooked as you can see from my own personal braces timeline below.

I used to be incredibly self-conscious of the tooth in front with an overjet. And sometimes, someone would take a picture and it would capture (or not capture?) the hidden eye tooth on the right. I had to be super selective about photos because I smile a lot and my smile looked like a hillbilly's.
Also, I don't know if you can tell by those photos or not, but my hair is hella long!
I have a phone interview today with a department on campus that I would love to work for. I'm crazy nervous, so I'm going to go ease my nerves with some Les Mills Pump.
