Ellie Gets Braces
Ellie was blessed with her mother’s small mouth and her fathers big teeth, so it was only a matter of time before we were thrown into the world of braces. First we had to get past some extractions and the installation of retainers plus the nightly use of a face mask. We were assured from the orthodontists that in the end with the help of our small investment, her smile would be beautifully straight, it’s just a change we’re not quite use to yet.
Ellie on the other hand was super excited to be getting braces. “It’s like I’m almost a teenager.” This excitement soon wore off with the pain of the first braces after the retainers.
