Today braces were put on Alex and Jonny. Aubrey is in her fasionable head gear she has to wear 14 hrs a day. She has different colors of rubber bands.

Oh boy.....we've got our orthodontal account here, too. Riley even had to have oral surgery to expose a tooth that is is almost horizontal in her lower jaw. They put a bracket on it and are connecting a chain up to the wire hoping it will "pull" itself back into the right place. Yeah, fun.

Hey, I noticed with Alex...Riley has Damon brackets. They're these newer brackets they use that don't need bands to keep the wire in place. The just have this little sliding "door" where they put the wire, then they shut it. They're smaller, cleaner, easier for wire changes and I guess they're proven to work faster. So she won't have them on for long. And they're cheaper than the traditional brackets. That's a good thing for us! :o)

14 hours a day??? At least she looks happy.

I don't even want to think about how much that costs. AUGH! Or how soon it will be our turn.

That is wierd to think they are old enough for braces. It doesn't seem like that long ago when Alex was born!
