| Before |
a new smile: this kid is getting a new smile and we couldn't be happier. the braces were put on today . i feel bad about scheduling it the day before thanksgiving but it had to get done and this way he doesn't miss any days of school. he had the spacers put on last week and that went better than expected. he is a trooper. they are starting with the top braces because it's easier on them to do it in phases. he won't get the bottom ones until january. so for now he'll look like this.

| After |
we were given many instructions and tools to keep good hygiene and the poor guy has to stay away from sticky, chewy and crunchy foods. not to mention the sugar. he has flouride, a special flosser and some pain meds just in case. i remember having braces and feeling uncomfortable but it was never terrible. hopefully he'll do the same.
the process should take about 2 years. but i'm looking forward to seeing his beautiful new smile.
