This month Halle began her "Phase One" of orthodontic work. Yes that's right, I said "Phase One." For several years now we have known Halle needed to have work done in order to make room in her tiny little mouth. Every dentist or orthodontist that has ever seen her has just been amazed at how tiny her mouth really is. We had to wait until she lost several teeth before the work could begin.
The past three weeks she has been going to the orthodontist getting ready for her big appointment that was this past Thursday. She had an expander put it. She will go back in eight weeks to have it checked, followed by another eight weeks. Then she will have her first set of braces put on-probably sometime in March.
Her mouth has been really sore and it has been a tough couple of days for her. But, she is adjusting and doing better. We know this is the right thing for her, but it is hard to watch her have to go through all of it.
They did give her a SonicCare toothbrush that she loves very much. I told her this would all be worth it someday when she has a beautiful smile!
