We have known for a while now that Evelyn would most likely need some orthodontic work to help get her teeth straight. In February her dentist felt like it was time to get a consult and start planning for it. The orthodontist said that even tho Evelyn still has plenty of baby teeth yet to lose, it was time to work on what she could while the rest of her mouth grows. She had concerns about Evelyn's front teeth in particular and their safety as they protrude out farther than her nose. It was decided to start on "Phase 1" now, which involved braces just on the top front teeth. Once she looses the rest of here baby teeth, we will start "Phase 2".
Today was the day to start!
I may be bias, but I think she is beautiful! Just a couple of shots of her "pre-braces!"
Matthew asked me to put these pics of him in this post to show his teeth. Silly boy!
On our way into Dr. Walker's office. She was a little anxious but also trying to take it all in stride.
An hour later, it was done! She was very brave and did a great job!
After a milkshake and some ibuprofen, she ate a soft dinner and headed to bed, a little sore and feeling "weird"! I totally remember that feeling! Here's to a good start to our orthodontic adventure!
