Well it was a big day for Amy. She got her braces on!! We have been anticipating this event for a few years and today was the day. Our orthodontist in NY was waiting for all the permanent teeth to come in so when we moved to OR we thought the waiting game would continue..... she still has 4 baby teeth!
Well we've been here 10 months and that means Dan has been officially retired for 8 months and we only have 2 years of dental insurance from his date of retirement. So, the teeth were not coming out quick enough. We decided to make an initial appointment with a recommended ortho guy (he attends our church) and that 1st appt. was yesterday. She had x-rays, pictures and an exam and today, the braces went on! Wow, it's been a whirlwind and she has a bit of a sore mouth and is already looking forward to the day - 2 years from now - when the braces come off!
I wanted to get a "before" picture, but Amy's response was "NO PICTURES, PLEASE!"

Wow. From pointe shoe fitting...to braces in a single bound. I remember being in such pain the day AFTER having the braces adjusted. Yowza! Erik and Ellie han appts with the ortho a momth or so ago. We'll go back in 6 mos to see what's next for them.
