We thought we had dodged the bullet on braces for Allison until her most recent dentist appointment. Her last two teeth were coming in at a slant and her bite was off, so after an orthodontic consultation, braces are on! Today she got the top ones and will wait a few months for her bite to change so the bottom ones can be added. I've got the mac n cheese, ice cream, applesauce, soup and pudding ready for a painful weekend, but the beautiful smile will be worth it in the end.
