Brace Yourself...

Um yeah, so I've left the blog a little neglected for a while - life just seems to consume the days that zip past - catching up seems like a colossal feat that makes me feel like continuing to procrastinate so I won't... but another major life event for Emily has happened and I felt that it really warranted a post of its own....

Before
















After








She did an awesome job through the whole appointment - and it took FOREVER!! Adjusting to the new hardware is taking some time - the nightime head gear is pretty tough but we're hoping that it will get easier as the days go by. I think think she looks pretty cute - and just think Em - in 2-ish years you'll be brace-free and have the prettiest smile ever - hang tough baby girl!

A little advice from someone who went through the brace face in ther 20's. One, take an advil about a half an hour before the appointments to get adjustments and tightening and you will be pain free. Two, buy a water pick. It is such a pain having food in your teeth all the time and you can zip up stairs and 30 seconds later all of it is gone. It seems like forever Em, but it is so totally worth it!
