Our hearts are a bit breaking for our oldest as the hardware has been cemented in and the progress begins to create the perfect smile.
What used to be is no longer as welcomed updates have been created in the orthodontist industry. No longer is there outer headgear; it's been replaced with hydraulics and screws attached by spacers on the inside of your mouth. Gone are the days where you could face plant your pillow and still breath due to the headgear providing space around your face. Instead of minutes with the plaster in your mouth, it's now seconds. It's the same office I went to back in third grade, but the staff looks different and there's new carpet.
Most everything else looks the same.
Addison will be living off of milkshakes, Motrin, soups and purees for a few days until her mouth becomes adjusted to the new look.
And just when she's adjusted, we'll shake things up again and add braces.
Beautiful smile or money saved for a car? This adventure nearly broke the bank!
You'll thank us later metal mouth...I mean brace face...oh, bad mommy!
It's out of my system now...
{ Looking good babe. }
