Urgh.
When I have...Nooooo not orthdontic work!!!! Urgh. <br /><br />When I have children, unless they can't physically eat, they aren't having them. I've had the absolute worst experience with orthodontics. 7 and a half years, and counting. I'm an adult now; it's downright embarrassing to go in the office with the young kids. And of course, God only knows when I'll get the danged things off. Sigh.....I pray your girl's teeth move quicklySerendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978369468735860836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-24137071726022516182012-07-30T10:34:34.213-04:002012-07-30T10:34:34.213-04:00Pray to St. Anthony!Pray to St. Anthony!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-10601830461189897082012-07-29T11:51:31.290-04:002012-07-29T11:51:31.290-04:00Our brilliant dentist also does orthodontic work. ...Our brilliant dentist also does orthodontic work.

Our insurance (at the time) covered one lost retainer per year.

I...Just wait until she starts losing her retainers. I think I lost 3 of them back in the day, the craziest was one that disappeared from the dashboard of my dad's pickup, and which was found many years later inside the ventilation system. It'd apparently fallen down one of the defroster vents up front.

What kind o...Grace had a palate expander last year. What kind of key did you get? Is it loose or attached to a big plastic stick? Ours was attached to plastic and we kept it in the toothbrush jar. Let me warn you, keeping that turning thing clean is harder than you think. She's probably going to need help every now and again.<br /><br />My 'wow, I'm getting old' moment is coming later today when Grace has her first eye appointment. She started complaining about distance vision a few months ago and it's time to bite the bullet before school starts again. Wasn't she supposed to get my husband's vision? His of the 20/15 variety instead of mine of the can't see the bedside clock variety. Maybe the other children will be luckier.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507330852895229468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-39074734508495238522012-07-26T16:17:43.057-04:002012-07-26T16:17:43.057-04:00"Time just gets away from us..."
