Laura's Tin Grin is In!

Although we think Laura's snaggle-toothed smile is absolutely adorable, the time has come to get those gorgeous teeth straightened out. I just got back from bringing Laura in to have her braces put on, so take a good last look at how crooked everything is, because it won't stay that way for long now! Right now she has brackets on the front eight teeth, which will stay on for 12-14 months, and then phase two will come when she's older and the rest of her permanent teeth are in. Patients get to choose a color for the ligature ring that goes on each bracket at each visit, and Laura decided to go with eight different colors. She says she's going to choose eight different colors each time she has an appointment!http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4126/5218676310_f27713b047_z.jpg

She was quite the trooper this morning, and since pancakes are a good food to start with when you're getting used to braces, we went to Perkin's for lunch. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5010/5218676618_0705e2ede1_z.jpg
Congratulations on your new colorful smile Laura!

I remember picking colors for my braces too. That made it fun. Orange and black for Halloween. Red and green for Christmas. The possibilities are endless!
