Okay, so Maxine and Juliet have always had straight teeth but Jack's were never very straight. So at the last dentist appointment, we were strongly encouraged to get some braces on his front teeth. One of his permanent upper front teeth had grown in behind his bottom tooth and was forcing the bottom tooth outward. So we took a trip to the orthodontist and he threw some brackets on the top teeth a.s.a.p.

He was pretty good for the procedure except when they made a mold of his teeth. During the mold part, he was gagging and tearing up. But he made it out okay and now has brackets on the top 2 teeth. The orthodontist said the bottom teeth will naturally realign as the upper teeth are pulled into place.

It's only been a few days but I can't believe how much his teeth have changed already! The orthodontist recommends the braces stay on for a year. Maybe he'll get them off early.
