After many months of waiting Hannah finally got her braces today! We had to wait until she lost ALL of her baby teeth. :sniff sniff:
Mama's baby is growing up! She now has a mouth full of adult teeth at 12!
She was a little nervous at first. She really thought it was going to hurt.
The technician started with a quick cleaning of her teeth. Not bad! But still nervous!
She finally relaxed a bit. I think it was the blue light?
Almost done!
She did so well!
Our orthodontist does only the tops at first because the bottom teeth correct much quicker than the top. He said she will probably get the bottoms added on in 6 months or so.
The technician showed Hannah the proper way to brush & floss her braces. She was very thorough!
Then the Orthodontist came over to make her head gear! Yes, she gets to wear the super gorgeous headgear! Thankfully only at night while she is asleep.
OF COURSE when she heard the dreaded words HEAD GEAR she immediately thought of Sue Heck from the show,we LOVE, "The Middle". Thinking THIS is what she'd look like wearing head gear! HA-HA! Of course it did not help that her little sister, Hailee, kept calling her Sue after she heard the news.
Siblings are FUN!
The technician taught us how to install the head gear properly and remove it properly. Daddy got to go first.
I had to snap a picture of her with the head gear on. Our technician is hilarious! That is her and Jeff photo bombing in the background. Hannah wasn't impressed with my photo taking obsession. But even with it on she still looks beautiful!
After her appointment we went to Sweet Frog to celebrate her braces day! I am sure we will be visiting SF a good bit in the next few weeks while her teeth are adjusting to the braces. Soft frozen yogurt is just what the doctor ordered!
