A few weeks ago (yeah...I'm behind from taking a break) Virginia got braces and she looks absolutely adorable! She had an expander in her mouth last year and when she lost her front upper and lower teeth, our orthodontist told us it was time for braces!
Jay took off work that morning in order to be there for the BIG day and we were all really excited! What a GREAT daddy we have!!!
She was a little nervous that it might be sore, but she loves them! She chose pink and purple for her first colors...and that is what she was the MOST excited about...choosing the colors. She gets to change them every time she goes in (6 weeks) so she will get to have lots of different options:) She can already notice a difference! I can't even imagine how beautiful that smile will be in 9 months...'cause it's ALWAYS been gorgeous to me!!!
Love. that. smile!
Our orthodontist is amazing and almost every one of my friends have taken their children there. I LOVE his office (though it is quite a drive from our house...but he is WORTH it!) because all the kids' chairs face out these floor to ceiling windows looking out over the woods. They also have multiple bird feeders that bring amazingly beautiful birds for them to watch...you can see Anli is mesmerized!! Daddy...well...he is standing watch over his baby girl:)
This is the wildest and smartest contraption. It holds their lips back so that they can "paint" on the sealants so they do not get cavities around and under the brackets. But...it makes for one crazy smile!
They give all the kids their own mirror to watch everything that they do. They talk through each step and let them view it so that they are not anxious or scared. Love them.
Then...they quick dry everything...looks kind of something from outer space!
Then...the MAN comes to place all the brackets and get it just right. We ***LOVE*** him!! He is a Christian and is just a neat guy. (These are from my iphone...not good quality...but family was waiting for instant photos!!)
