Hi, Penny and welcome!
Here are a couple ideas.
1. Are you allowing it to select from all colors (section 5b and 5c) or are you selecting your colors manually (5b)?
2. Is there a lot of white in your image? Is the image extremely small? Here's a hint. If there are only a small number of white areas in your image, the program may not use white in the pattern. To correct this, try lowering the "Color Sensitivity" in section 8. The lower this setting, the more different colors will be in the final pattern. So, for example, the only white in your image is your teeth and they're relatively small in the image, a Color Sensitivity of 20 would probably not show white teeth, and actually choose another color closest to white that is more abundant in your image. This could even make teeth green or gray or whatever.
If you then lowered the
Color Sensitivity to 10, the teeth might come out white.
If this setting is related to why the teeth don't come out white,
try lowering the setting gradually until it works. If you
just use a Color Sensitivity of 1 all the time, there will be too
many colors in your patterns.
Let me know if this helps. I have a couple other ideas. I'm also going to start enabling some of my new fixes and updates very soon but your issue is probably not a problem with the program. I'm guessing it can be fixed with settings. I'm also hoping to get to the helper videos that will go through all the settings. This has been on hold until I catch up a bit but I should have more and more time beginning later this month.

Welcome!
Before any image goes through the freePatternWizard, it should be ready to go as the way you want it for the finished pattern. While we currently have editing functions in development, they're not available at the moment.
What you can do in the meantime is use a graphics program to put your images together. If you don't have a graphics program and you're using Windows, I can recommend two very powerful (and free!) graphics programs that are available online.
Yeah he is one of my cats. His name Slinky but thats not the one from my name. I have 2 others and I have to admit that I find them irresistable as well.
This is the one in my name. Tigerlily
Raven,
Welcome!
I'm very glad you're settled now...your plan to get back into beading and sell some of your finished work is fantastic!
I believe anything you can do that you enjoy will be the best medicine of all. There's something soothing about creating an item, whether it's for sale or for your own personal use. I hope you can find enough fun things to do that will hold your interest!
Feel free to write in anytime if you need some help, or just emotional support and encouragement.
I can understand how you're
feeling...we've all been there in some way and it can really
suck! 
But hang in there, because it
also can get better.
