Braces

So last month, this happened.

And here’s why.

Basically, there are three problems. 1) There’s not enough room for all the incoming teeth, 2) he’s got a pretty big overbite, and 3) he’s got that wayward yet-to-come-in tooth on the bottom that is heading in the wrong direction. The hope is that the braces will correct the overbite and open up the current teeth to make room for the new ones to come in.

Ezra was not happy about getting braces at all. In fact, at first he didn’t want any one to know and he planned to not open his mouth at school so no one would find out. But, it’s been a month now and he’s adjusted well. I think his teeth are already straighter.

Only 11 more months to go!
