I cannot claim credit for the teeth; they just grew that way. My lower teeth, on the other hand, are not nearly as pretty. I had braces for them, which temporarily pulled them apart enough for my dentist to realize the reason I kept getting weird stabbing pains in my left lower canine was because it had no enamel down one side -- it had been jammed too tightly against the neighboring tooth to ever grow any. I got a filling for that, of course. I then failed to wear my retainer because it had vicious sharp edges and my orthodontist never believed me and thus never rounded them down (*shakes retroactive fist of rage at the sexist, patronizing dickhead*) and now my lower teeth are exactly as squished and snaggled as they ever were, only this time it's my right lower canine that is most displaced from where it ought to be. *sigh*

BLTs are delicious. True facts. :-)
