Is he totally in pain this morning? That palette expander looks like it hurts. Does he wear it all the time?? Yikes. Did you get to play Guitar Hero??? :)
Doesn't look too comfortable. Hopefully he is being a good sport.
He looks too young for braces. I waited till all their teeth fell out and came in. But, I also put it off because of $$$$$ I didn't want to pay, but now I've got one paid for and one half way. I think I'll wait on Dallin so I can have a year off.
I'm curious. Did Kyle call from school today and tell you he couldn't eat lunch? For about a week you'll wonder why in the world you decided to have it done. Devon ate so much Top Ramen. Anyway, it gets better. Promise. We'll have to get a side by side pic of the two of them and their torture devices.
I would have put it off too Nicki, but he has a pretty bad underbite that needs fixed before his jaw stops growing - that's why we had to start now. And Kim, he did okay eating - so far. But the nurse did call home saying one of his "ties" came off.
Oh and Kristen, he's not in pain - it's just different. He has a lot to get used to. And he might need to wear the expander for 6 months (we hope not).
It does look it would hurt. I am glad he is doing well with it. You will both be so glad that you did this now.
Oh, I feel for him! (although he doesn't look like he's in too much pain ;) I am so glad my days in braces are over. Although, my kids are right on track for every single one of them needing braces! Lucky them!!
