Braces Removed

I never did get the pictures posted of Taylor getting her braces put on, so I'll do that now -

She needed braces because her top left tooth wasn't growing in. It was bumping into her bottom teeth, making them loose. So 8 months of braces was the solution.
She was really excited, as most people are before they actually get braces. But after sitting in the dentist chair for a couple of hours with this big thing in her mouth, the fun was gone. Here she is signing "OW" to me.

So, 7 months later, she was thrilled to be able to get them off. She got them off right before school ended, and she now wears a cook bright pink, glow-in-the-dark retainer.

See how happy she looks to get those things off!!

Oh my gosh - these first pics almost make me want to cry for Taylor. What a brave girl she is. And now, look at her beautiful teeth and smile. Way to go, Taylor. Love, Grandma Pam
