A little over six months ago, Morgan had braces put on her top four teeth. She has been a trooper - she was faithful in her brushing and flossing, followed the food rules, and did not complain about pain or discomfort through this process.
Two weeks ago at Morgan's appointment, they made a mold of her mouth so she could be fitted for her retainer. Morgan began counting down the days until her braces would be removed.
The day arrived for the braces to be removed and Morgan was giddy with excitement.

The change in Morgan's teeth was noticeable within a month of the braces being put on. It was amazing. Her teeth are straight and look great. Of course, this is only Phase I so there will be more braces to come in a few years once all her permanent teeth are in.
no more braces

ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I was so happy when I got my braces off - after four long years :)
