A Brace Face No More!!!

Today is the day that Calob's mouth was liberated from BRACES! Yippeeeeee!!! It seems like FOREVER he's had all that metal in his mouth but he's done great. It cost a lot (a dollar or two) but looking at his after shots ... TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! He has a beautiful smile. He does have a retainer behind his bottom teeth that will be there forever (apparently that's the way to go) and one for the top teeth that he'll wear for about 2 years. He looks SO different ...
weird, but in a great way.

Do you remember when Calob got his braces?

Right before heading into the
orthodontists office
After ... oh my!
Check out those pearly whites!!!
Wearing his retainer.

Wow...Calob looks great and what a beautiful smile! The braces certainly did a good job, which makes it all worth it!

Oh my, who's the young man sitting in the back of your van!!

His face has totally slimmed and matured!

Very handsome, Calobster!

He looks so much more grown up! And looking back at those pics of when he first got them...oh my! We are gearing up to go through this with Nick very soon. Last time, doc said he had 5 baby teeth that he wanted him to lose before we started, but only 2 of them are gone. I'll be making us our next 6 month appointments over Christmas break, so it may be an interesting visit. Any words of wisdom? I've never dealt with braces!
