See Anything new and shiny about Mia's smile?

We took the kids in for their long overdue check-ups at the dentist and luckily Mason had no cavities, but Mia on the other hand hand another two cavities in between her teeth. The dentist said that her mouth is so small and the teeth so close that he wasn't surprised that she had cavities. There is an orthodontist in the same office that does free consults, so we asked him when it is ideal to start braces. After he examined her mouth he confirmed what we already knew, that Mia's mouth is so small that she would need braces and if they do it now they can make her mouth bigger so they won't have to remove a bunch of permanent teeth later. So, Mia got her braces on a couple of weeks ago and she goes in for the contraption that makes her jaw bigger on Monday. She has been a rock star so far and doesn't complain and is great at taking care of them.

She looks great! I had a jaw widener when I was a kid - not fun! Luckily, it did the trick though. Lily won't be too far behind Mia. I'm already saving for braces and jaw wideners. Mia's smile is beautiful. Does she like having them?

Payton is going to be so excited when I show her this post. She always thinks she is the only person in the entire world that is her age and has braces.
