I promised an updated pic of Martie's braces so here there are =) the first pic was taken August 25th and the second was taken the day before yesterday (Nov 18th). So in less than 3 months they have already straightened up a TON!!!
This is just a phase 1 set of braces because she still has so many baby teeth left but her front teeth were so crooked and crowded that her new adult teeth coming in had nowhere to go and her jaw could not come forward all the way which could have caused future problems.
She just got 2 molars banded and her full wire so ofcourse she is in a bit of pain but after seeing these pics of her new beautiful teeth it made her smile really big =)

Her teeth are looking great!
ReplyDeletethat is amazing how much they've changed already - we'll be on that train here soon....Talon has an AWFUL crossbite :( Neither Nate or I had braces so it is WERID to me to think about!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim =)
ReplyDeleteand I know Jenn! I just can't believe how much it has transformed her self confidence as well!!! Being as though this is a Phase 1 set of braces (these will be removed before August) she will need a full set later on when the rest of her adult teeth come in but because she is missing 1-2 of her adult teeth having this done may eliminate the need for a full set as well. We will see how things pan out. Wes needs to lose 2 more baby teeth before he gets his full set (I am too cheap to pay for tooth extractions LOL) and they are both loose so as long as they are out by February that may be where our tax money goes LOL
Oh and I had braces for almost 3 years! I got them on my Freshman year of highschool and they came off the day before my junior prom ;)
