The countdown begins . . .

It looks like Chase will get his braces off in about 3 weeks. He will then be wearing retainers, but he's okay with that. He should have and could have had them off months ago if he would have just worn his rubber bands. But after some gentle persuasion from mom and dad--okay it was forceful--he got serious about it. (We took away his cell phone so he knew I meant business.) But now Chase is being rewarded for his obedience. I really don't know why he complained about the rubber bands so much. At least he didn't have to wear a bionator like Aunt Lindy (is that how you spell it). lol

One down, and now one more to add. Tanner has started the process of getting a palette expander put in his mouth. He has permanent teeth coming in on top of other permanent teeth so we need to get on it right away. Oh, the never ending saga of braces--will it ever end. All I can say is . . . stop the madness!
