The big day is finally here! I woke her up with a big "Guess what...you're getting braces today!!!!" - since that is what I have been hearing for the last month ("Guess what momma, I get braces in 3 weeks" or "1 week" or "12 hours"!!!!)
She was so excited she could barely sit still as we waited to leave home for her appointment!
I am so happy she is getting them, though, in all seriousness. Not only for the medical reasons of correcting problems such as a slight overbite and crowding that would lead to cavities and other problems. But mainly for the self-esteem boost a beautiful smile will offer her. She has always been uneasy about the gap between her front teeth (which I have always found endearing - but I guess kids can be cruel and tease about such things).
Here is the before picture outside the office. It is too far away to see her smile very well, oops!
And tada...the after picture! She actually looks very cute with them on!
She couldn't stop smiling the entire way to school. Meanwhile she was saying "I'm going to walk around all day with my lips stuck together and not smile so noone will see them"...yeah right! She is so ready to show them off!!!
