Expander

Reese is out of room in his mouth!  He has two permanent teeth that need to come in and there's NO space at all!
The other day we took him into my orthodontist and he told us what we were dreading....expanders!
He's actually REALLY excited (probably because he COMPLETELY naive to the pain:( --I won't break it to him:)  He actually has to wear 4 braces for a short time to straighten out his front teeth too because they are kinda sideways:/ and causing the "no room" problem.  
It's funny but at the kids school it's so cool to have braces so Reese is thrilled and Abby is jealous!  How funny is that?  Who knew it?  I was super cool with braces...weird. :)  

Wait no, adult braces are never cool:)

This week we start the whole process....pray the pain is minimal and that the excitement lasts the whole year of treatment!!!
WIDE MOUTH REESE!
