William's braces

William got braces on his front four teeth about 6 weeks ago. He had a cross bite and some of his top teeth were pushing against his bottom teeth. This is just phase II of William's orthodontic plan. Phase I involved a spacer that had to be adjusted every night on the roof of his mouth.



One last shot of his "before" teeth before he went back.



This was about 5 minutes after his braces went on.



This is literally 3 days after the braces were applied. He had been in so much pain for days and it was his teeth moving at such a rapid rate.



Lizzie had to get some camera time in. Lizzie is my only kid out of 4 who doesn't need orthodontic work.

Now that it is 6 weeks later, we have noticed that William's bottom teeth are straightening out a little since the top teeth aren't putting such pressure on the bottoms.
