So, the day has finally come that Alexa has been so patiently waiting for.
She got her braces!
You can tell by the big smile on her face that she is very excited.
I think it makes her feel more "grown up" wearing them.
She chose the blue & green rubber thingies to go around the brackets on her braces.
Apparently when we go back in October, she has already decided on pink & purple. :)
Towards the end of this month, she will get two teeth extracted to make more room in her mouth on the top.
She will also be required to wear headgear at night eventually.
Orthondontist projects she will have to wear braces for 2-3 years.
Alexa hasn't complained much about soreness, I think it's mostly her mouth getting used to the brackets rubbing a bit on the inside of her mouth.
She was given a bag full of goodies from the Orthodontist...new electric toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, wax & a few other things.
She had her choice of a grey, blue or green T-Shirt that says "Wired" on it.
She wanted the green one, and decided it was so comfy that she slept in it. :)
I'm so proud of her! Another milestone. <3
