After a visit to the dentist last fall, we were referred to the orthodontist. We went in November for a consult, but we were waiting on her to lose one more baby tooth and then it was time to pull the trigger for braces. The tooth fell out in January, and she finally got her braces! She got an expander in the roof of her mouth and braces on the top and bottom. The top were needed because she doesn't have enough room for two teeth to come in. We went ahead and did the bottom braces too for now. She will wear these for about a year and then she will get a second set when she is around 12 or 13. Here's to hoping she doesn't have too much pain.
