Today Kent has his orthodontic appt to get his spacers put in. They like to put them in a week before the actual braces go on which will be next Tuesday.
Pretty exciting stuff. First he had those 2 teeth pulled a few weeks ago, and now spacers... and then finally braces....
When we went this morning, I was thinking I should bring my camera, but I didn't know how they would feel about it so I didn't . Well, while we were there I mentioned I should have brought my camera, and the lady, Lori, was so nice she said they have a digital camera for the clinic and I could take as many pictures as I wanted and she would print them right there! How cool is that???
So I started taking a few pictures. They also took another X-ray of his face and she printed me a copy of that, too!
Here's that X-ray... amazing.... that protruding upper front teeth will be pulled back with the braces, and have the room to do it now that those 2 side teeth were pulled.... if you look carefully, you can see the faint outline of his nose, lips and chin around his skull... AMAZING!!!
Lori had to put 8 spacers in, she said Kent's teeth and gums are really healthy cause he didn't bleed, well the boy brushes twice a day, flosses and uses a fluoride mouth wash! Here's the pictures Lori printed for me, she's the lady in the pictures as well, she reminded me of my aunt Dede....
BTW.... we all had our 6 month dental cleaning and check up yesterday, and I'm proud to report we ALL are cavity free! But they did say Jeromy's mouth is a ticking time bomb and we need to get his 4 wisdom teeth pulled! That will be our next tax return.
Later!

It's strange seeing the skeleton, especially of a family member! He's going to have very straight teeth after you get done with him.
