I guess it would depend on a few things. I don’t know much about braces or how long they have to be worn. If I had to guess, by looking at her younger photos, she would have had to wear them for awhile in order to correct some of her dental issues. From what I can tell, she didn’t have them in 1977, at least not when the yearbook photo was taken. So I’ll say summer 1978 she got them. That’s about 8 years? I don’t think I know anyone who has had to wear braces that long.I think the gap between her teeth could have been narrowed by the braces, but totally closed? I don't know...
I’m no dentist and it’s still a little hard for me to see her teeth clearly, but I just wonder if braces alone would have corrected what I’m seeing? Idk... JMO.
ETA: here’s the best up-close I can get from my phone...
