Do you have a question for STO about your teeth that is difficult to describe into words? Please take some photos for us and email the pictures with your question to info@worldofsmiles.com. All you need are 2 spoons (or just your fingers) and a buddy to take the photos for you. The following are the main types of photos that will be very useful in helping us to answer your question.
• Make sure your flash is on
• Try to capture just your mouth and teeth if possible
• Relax your lips – don’t make them tense
