Monday was an exciting day for Makenna, she got her braces off! Before you get too excited (and I know you are), she will have to get them back on. She needs to get 4 permanent teeth removed and she also has 1 last baby tooth to lose. Once both of those happen and all of her permanent teeth are in, then she will get them back on to finish fixing her mid line that isn't lined up and close in the gaps. We compared her x-rays from right before she got them on to her x-rays just before they were taken off and the results are amazing. In just 10 months, the huge gap between her front teeth was closed, her mid line made great progress towards being lined up and her crooked teeth were turned how they're supposed to be. She still says her teeth feel slimy, but we all love her new smile, especially since it made her look younger. That's important to J and I since we don't want our "baby" to grow up! The above pictures show her just before getting the braces off and after getting them off.
What a great smile :)
