Brace Face!

Bruce got braces and an expander on this morning. It makes me feel old knowing that I have a kid with braces. But, he's only 8. They start earlier these days to prevent more work in the future.

Here are Bruce's before pictures.

(crooked bottom teeth & top teeth separated with one in front and one in back on his bite.)

Here are the pictures from getting work done this morning.

This is the expander he has on the roof of his mouth. I have to widen it for him each day for 14days and then they check it again. It's supposed to widen his jaw and make room for teeth to come in.

The Braces

We got clear braces so you can only really see the wire.

His New Smile...for now.
