Orthodontist

Jonathan had his second appointment with the Orthodontist on Friday - they took impressions for the expander they will be putting in next friday - then onto braces in February....

Grumpy Boy!! Jonathan didn't want me taking pictures of him...someday he'll be glad!

I love his shirt...at his first appointment the office gave him this t-shirt that he can wear to his appointments to get tickets for a drawing, they also get tickets for being on time, and good oral hygiene. (She was checking to see if the spacers they put in last week were still in there) they were!

She was testing metel rings on Jonathan's teeth - they will get cement in with the expander.

Dr Beckstrom checking the rings on Jonathan's teeth before they take the impression. We love Dr Beckstrom and his office staff!!!

So many to choose from...Jonathan chooses a flavor for his impression. (of all the flavors he chose grape - yuck!)

Open wide....

yum....

Reminds you of the days when you all had braces huh...and yes, Jonathan is a little young for braces, but he has a front tooth that was starting to move forward slightly, and it was making him not want to show his teeth. (I know most of you have never noticed - it's that minimal) But it was enough to bother Jonathan so the Orthodontist decided to go ahead with braces. So next week will be part 2 - the Expander. I get to insert a key 3 times a week and turn it -Fun stuff!
