Brace Face!

Megan got her first round of braces yesterday. I always thought braces were something kids dreaded getting but not Megan. She couldn’t wait! She was so excited to finally get them on and especially excited to pick Valentine’s Day rubber band colors. Plus, it helped that they gave her a t-shirt (nothing like a walking advertisement) and a bunch of other fun goodies to take home.

We are starting with only the top teeth in order to make room for a few other teeth that cannot come in. Eventually those will come off and she will get braces on the top and bottom but that won’t happen until she gets all of her permanent teeth.

I always remember my Dad telling me that kids were expensive. Only now am I beginning to really appreciate that comment.
