No More Tracks

Train tracks, that is! A HUGE day for Lauren...she got her braces off. She's had somewhat of an extended 2nd (and final) phase with the braces. When they were first put on it was only supposed to be a year, maybe less. Now it's almost 2 years. We were waiting for almost an entire year for two teeth to come in so the orthodontist could put the finishing touches on her upper teeth...but they never came in. Turns out they were sideways and would never come in. So after much waiting and many xrays, we had the tooth buds removed and the two coordinating lower teeth removed. So, she'll be short a few teeth as an adult but since they're around the back, you'll never be able to tell.



Here's the before....

the during....

and after....

So, here's looking at you kid! With no more braces :) Congratulations
