L got her braces today - top only. It's Phase One of braces for her, making room for a tooth on the top. Phase Two will tackle both the bottom and top. L was pretty brave. I sat in the room with her. Even with E going to the orthodontist for two-plus years, I'd never sat in the back with her. It was a lot different from when I had braces put on. They have five exam stations in the room, with the doctor and hygienists going from patient to patient. L was nervous, but she did a great job.
The "after" picture:
As her welcome gifts, L got a backpack filled with wax, a travel toothbrush, fluoride rinse, flossers, and a whole lot of information about all the candy she can no longer eat. They even gave me a shopping bag.
