Apologies to all for my lack of whereabouts via the inter-webs. I have been busy preparing for my move from Phoenix to Portland (to study naturopathic medicine and bask in the beauty that engulfs Oregon) and so my mind has been elsewhere!
Let me just tell everyone how pleased I am with my dentist (Dr. Kevin Mueller in Sun City West, AZ) that introduced me to Dr. Singh's appliance! Deciding whether or not to try the DNA appliance was quite the leap of faith and I do not suggest it for those that have the "need it now" mentality, as wearing the appliance takes patience and dedication. It has been almost 2 years wearing the appliance off and on (the off-period times consisted of my dentist sending the appliance back to Dr. Singh's lab for reconfiguration). The dedication does pay off though and while I may not have the "Hollywood smile", the facial definition the DNA has given me has blown me away.
I must divulge my own theories now as to why my facial structure has shifted so dramatically. I began natural desiccated thyroid about 5 months prior to beginning the appliance and while that can have its own dramatic appearance changes, I still owe my wider smile and cheekbone enhancement to the appliance.
Behold! Before and after photos:)
The above is 2011, pre-appliance, and the bottom is from today, February 2013.
