A New Look

Monday was the day we'd been waiting for, for more than 18 months. After waiting for certain teeth to fall out, and her expander to make more room on top, Cora had her braces put on Monday morning.

Here is her before smile...

















Next is halfway through the process, with the brackets glued on...
And, all done! (At Cora's request, I'm not posting the closeup of her braces.)
We are so pleased with her orthodontist's office. Great service so far!
The best cure for a sore mouth (next to Advil)? Lots of new books to read! We checked out an armful at the library after her appointment. She was such a trooper! No complaints, even though we all know she would have had some discomfort.
Even more helpful was a bit of frozen yogurt. Cora chose red and green bands for her braces, naturally.

We think she looks pretty darn cute with them on, even if they do help her look more grownup.
