The Braces are OFF!

After less than a year and a half, Jonathan's braces are off.  Here's the day he got his top braces.  And here's the day he got his bottom braces.  And, after less than a year and a half, here's how the braces looked the day they came off…

and how the teeth looked after the braces came off.  I was nervous there would be staining, because I had a really hard time getting him to keep them clean.  But…they look amazing!

I was so excited that I took the kids to Starbucks for hot chocolate.  They were pretty surprised.  Jonathan said, "I didn't know you were THAT excited!"
But I was!  What a change.  I'm thankful that we live in a time when his tooth issues could be fixed.  I imagine they would have caused him a lot of problems over his lifetime if we had left them alone.  He gets his retainers today.  Hopefully he…and I…can manage those well, until it's time for Part 2 of the braces adventure.
