Also known as, the New Face Chronicles.
How do you guys get such good, clear pictures of your teeth? I can't figure out how to do that with my camera. I have a digital Canon...something. A 2005 model. As you can see from my pics the lighting is off and the closer I get, the more blurry it is. My husband takes the pics for me, on a close-up setting. What do you guys do?

My name is Rebecca and I'm from Canada. For most of my life I have suffered from TMJ issues, migraines, receding chin, and severe crowding of my teeth. On March 2, 2007, I had Lefort 1 surgery (upper jaw) to fix my gummy smile, and a sliding genioplasty (chin job) to make my face balanced. My recovery has been fantastic. When I was researching this surgery, I noticed there weren't many websites out there made up of personal experiences, which is what I really wanted to see. So I started this blog for anyone who is waiting to have orthognathic surgery, has had the surgery, or is considering it. I hope it helps a little.

Hi Rebecca. Found your site from Steph's (Mrs Shanton). For my photos I use a web cam. I can just hold it up to my mouth and see what I'm getting on the screen, and retake if needed. I'm 30 years old and had upper palate expansion in March of this year, and will be having upper, lower, and genio probably sometime in the spring of 2007. I'm a Canadian too (Toronto), go Canada!
I take probably half a dozen pics and select the non-blurry ones. I take them myself with an outstretched hand. I sometimes crop the pics. As for the x-rays, I brought up a blank screen, probably with a Microsoft Word document, and then put the x-ray up in front of the computer screen, which served to backlight it. Then I snapped a picture of that. Hah!
I use a Kodak EasyShare DX6490 with 10x optical zoom. I do have problems with blurriness in dim light, but I love my camera otherwise. I think having zoom capability makes it easier to capture close-ups with detail.
I use a Olympus stylus 800. 8.0 MP.
I put it on the flower setting (still pics that are close up) and take them that way. I also have them on the macro setting so the pics are large. I then download them, crop them, and resize them to the size I want. My pictures are rarely if ever blurry when I do it this way.
