Monday Morning/Braces update...

I am enjoying the calm before the storm. What I really mean is the girls will be up soon. This week shouldn't be to busy. M will be starting the dental work for her braces this week. She had the bands put in to space her back molars last Wednesday, a little discomfort not to bad she said. This week she is going to the dentist to have a baby tooth removed. Some of you may remember the "good times" in Minot she had with baby teeth. The baby teeth refuse to make room for her adult teeth so they usually come in directly behind the baby tooth. This is the case yet again with an eye tooth. (The other eye tooth is impacted and will require oral surgery later this month). So the baby tooth comes out Friday, new bands for bigger spaces on the 2nd then two more baby teeth taken out that week. Another baby tooth has no permanent tooth to replace it so that one is staying put. All coming to the grand event on the 11th (we hope) with the actual placing of the braces she will be wearing for about the next two years. The fun doesn't end there...seems her front four teeth are peg shaped. One size all the way down the tooth they are supposed to become slightly larger. So after all the braces are done she will be getting her front four teeth capped. (FOUR!!!!$$$$) It's all worth it though. K has none of these problems with her teeth. She will just need to close a small space in between her front two and have a little straightening with her bottom four. That's still a year or so off. Well, now that you all have M's dental history I'll be going....
