Maddy's Teeth

Maddy has been complaining that her canine tooth has been hurting and she showed us a lump in the top where it looked like it wasn't going to grow in right. So we took her to the orthodontist and he recommended braces now so that her teeth will have room to grow in. We were shown the x-ray of her mouth and we saw how much room she doesn't have for the rest of her permanent teeth to grow in. So we set up an appointment for her to get braces. So, on June 30th, she became the proud owner of metal in her mouth.

Prebraces


The funny device that keeps her teeth from getting saliva on them. The blue stuff is a cleaning gel that makes the cement adhere to the teeth.


Putting the brackets on.


Checking out her new look!


So very patriotic!!! I love her smile!
