Winning Smile

It's looking like we're going to have to get braces at some point, and it hasn't been too bothersome... yet. I had braces as a kid and am glad for it, and today kids are way more evolved than I ever was, and they seem to roll with it. Plus, with modern technology, braces are not as traumatizing. They can even be, dare I say, cool?

We have thus far visited two orthodontists, and I have to say, the experience has been interesting. The two offices were completely different, and I got a sense their respective approaches differed, as well. One was high tech and fancy, catering to the big city crowd, albeit it at a higher cost. The other was more casual but not as fancy or impressive. He was, however, more to the point with fewer bells and whistles. I think he was more affordable.

We will eventually visit a third one, and then we will probably have to make a decision. Some commonalities that we've heard so far is that he will not need a palate expander and the time frame is about 3 years. Both orthos have also said the timing is good because he is still losing teeth, so they want to see how things transpire.

More adventure, just what we need. At least it's warming up and the hockey season is winding down, opening up more free time on this end.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to heydlee for the pic.
