Keaton had BRACES put on yesterday.
We started at the ortho a month or so ago because his 6 year molars were coming in way too far forward ..and therefore, weren't able to come in.
They first tried to fix this by putting in spacers to push them back, but the 6 year molar did so much damage to the root of the next baby tooth on his right side...that it BROKE....and I mean crumbled, when he was eating a Starburst at the first UNI tournament game. (That turned out to be the most expensive bag of Starbursts we have ever bought....including a trip to the dentist, and an extraction....)
The kids' dentist cringes when I say the word "starburst".
So....braces turned into our only option. The good things:
Keaton wanted braces
...so isn't too upset emotionally about having them... and he should
only have to have them on for about 6 months or so. He did great when they put them on yesterday, and hasn't complained too much about the discomfort...yet. Hopefully they are easy on him.
When I look at him with braces it just makes my heart skip a beat.
WHY?
because he looks. so. old!
Crazy stuff. He does look super cute in them AND he is so pumped that he got to choose a color for his bands!
He is already trying to decide between UNI Panthers colors and
CR Eagles colors for next time....
