No More Braces!


After 8 1/2 months, Jake got his braces off yesterday! He had been counting down the days since his last appointment about 3 weeks ago. He had a bit of a rough time with the actual process of having them removed, but once we got home and he had some lunch he was all smiles for the rest of the day. And so am I, his teeth look so much better! Today he got his temporary retainer and he will get a permanent one in about 3 weeks. Now this won't guarantee he won't need braces again in the future once all of his adult teeth are in, but hopefully it will help reduce the need to only his bottom teeth or none at all. Regardless, his teeth are fixed and he's lookin' good :)

Before braces - the tooth was "stuck" behind his bottom tooth and couldn't move forward
