After a year and a half break to lose the rest of her baby teeth, Taylor began Phase Two at the orthodontist today. She has one more molar to lose on the bottom before brackets can go on, so today, it was just brackets on the top. She chose teal and purple bands for the first round and was already feeling the pain before going to bed tonight. She will likely be on a soft food diet for the next few days as her teeth adjust.
Dr. Taylor estimates the process taking 18-24 months, getting them off just in time for High School!! For now, no more gum, popcorn, sticky candy, pretzels, carrots, etc....
