Today was another milestone in Noah's young life. His braces got taken off! He has had "phase 1" of braces on for just a little over a year. Last visit they said there was a possibility they would take them off today but per X-rays taken they maybe would try to add more space to make room for some more incoming teeth. After reviewing the films they decided the teeth still have quite a ways to come down which gives his jaw more growth time. Today was the day! Of course there was some discomfort in removing things but well worth it when he had smooth braceless teeth!! He has one week of total freedom and next week he will get retainers to keep his jaw and teeth in alignment while he grows.
It has been a journey, but it is nice to see the good results that they have had!!
We celebrated by going out to breakfast with Grandma Kathy and Noah bought 2 huge gum balls out of the machine at Perkins since he hadnt had one in a year Then Noah and I had a fun round of mini golf on a beautiful summer day.
