Now you see um, now you don't

Due to her tiny petite mouth "Pink Laptop" had to have braces just before her 8th birthday, in order to make enough room for her permanent teeth to come in. She was such a trooper through the whole thing. I couldn't have been prouder of her. But I was thrilled when the day came to get them off!


As the tears filled her eyes she tried to keep herself together.




I held on tight to her had and said some prayers for her pain as well as prayers of thanks that I brought her instead of her daddy who wouldn't have been able to handle it!

I don't know that I fully prepared her for the pain of the removal. She wasn't expecting it to hurt quite so much. This is the look I got after all the brackets were taken off.



This is our kind orthodontist who nicknamed her "sweet-girl" and was so wonderful to work with.

This is the yummy past that goes into your mouth to make the mold. I remember having this done when I was a kid and thinking I was going to choke as it filled up the back of my throat.


This is what "R2D2" did in the waiting room. As you can see he makes himself at home no matter where we go!








The end result.....BEAUTIFUL!
