orthodontics




On February 3rd Madison entered the world of Orthodontics, and her mouth (and our bank account!) will never be the same.  We've been diligently turning a metal thing in the roof of her mouth since that time, breaking and expanding her palet to make room for the horse teeth she's inherited from yours truly.  It's absolutely amazing the difference we've seen in her mouth over the last month.  While the last picture above shows a little more of her personality than the change in her teeth, I think you can still see the gaping whole between her front two teeth.  According the Dr. Mallory, once we stop expanding her mouth, that gap will shrink again, and her teeth will shift.  Next step:  braces in the fall.  First this, then double digits.  Our little girl is about to enter the tween years.  Give us strength.  And maybe a raise.
