Braces on, Braces Off

After 22 months of torture, pain, lots of crying, not being able to eat carmel, corn on the cob or apples, cankers, headgear, rubberbands, did I mention crying....Anna finally is braces free. So here I have the before and after pictures.


On the way home I stopped by a store so she could buy a box of Milk Duds. After much thought and consideration she came up with Milk Duds as the first thing she wanted to eat.

I can only hope that the painful memory of braces will be enough motivation to wear her retainer so that we don't have to go through this again!!! (Up next: Zach in Feb.)

You should take her to Rocky Mtn. Chocolate Factory for a yummy carmel apple.

Nice smile! How great! So far I have 2 out of braces and 2 still in! I love Milk Duds, so I will keep my crooked teeth!
