She was so excited to get braces! We had known since last October that she would get them once she lost her last baby tooth. A
t the orthodontist Monday (2-23), Dr. Ridder put his hand on the tooth and it came right out. We made an appt. for 2 days later. She didn't tell anyone, not even Shane. I took her out of school to get them and then took her back. Shane was at lunch then sonwe walked down to ahow him. So fun that everyone made a big deal about them, which was just what she wanted! :).
She only ate milkshakes, apple sauce, white bread and a protein shake from smoothie king those first 2 days and we had to alternate Motrin with Tylenol for the pain. By day three (her birthday), she could eat small bites.
On a side note, we also took Shane this week and learned that he'll need 2 phases of braces. Lovely! One set probably in 9-12 months when the tooth on each side of the front 2 teeth come out and then another set at age 10 or so.
