The power of the smile beautifully articulated along with the self -consciousness of a smile with new braces. Congratulations on your win Milt - wisdom and whimsy blended beautifully!

Definitely couldn't agree more. My smile hurts and is costing me a fortune, but it will be worth it. Congratulations on your winning placement.

Thanks, Joseph. I sort of had those kids in mind who don't like to smile because it shows their braces. You are right, however.
