Braces for Alex

Today was a big day for my little man. He sat very still, with his mouth wide open, for over 2 hours while he had his braces put on. He is doing well and says they dont bother him at all.......yet. He was the lucky of the two of them. His orthodontist said that if he sleeps in his head gear and takes good care of his teeth the braces could come off in about 9 months. Now poor Elzabeth. She had an expander to widen her upper jaw for a year and then braces for 2 years. Now she just had dental surgery to correct her hypoplasty. What is hypoplasty you say? Well it is when you are born without enamel on your teeth..ouch. Now she has to have phase II braces to finish what they couldn't in Phase I. Oh well, they will appreciate their beautiful smiles when they are older.
