"Interdigitate" had me reaching for the dictionary.But that was a very educational post. I'd like to add, Nelie, that Brian's comment about missing lower teeth not being very visible is true. 3 weeks after surgery to remove all of my lower teeth and before I could have the implants, I attended a 4 day conference with 249 other folks. I practiced a smile that was not quite so wide, and the major problem I had was what I could eat. Breakfast buffets were no problem [scrambled eggs,grits,yogerts, etc] at lunch, soup, salad and sandwiches were served and I ate lots of soup. The dinners were hard and I ordered room service after the evening meetings. But it was doable and I was proud of myself for going. Just try to remember "beauty lies in the eye of the beholder" We all know you are a beautiful person. Amy
