After wearing expanders since November, the time had finally come for Noelle to get braces.  She has crowding problems and in order to fit all of her permanent teeth, this was our only option (and it’s extremely time sensitive too).  Her dentist and orthodontist both said, “Now or never.”  Without going into any more detail, I was a nervous wreck, and she was a champ, as always (I must say, we have excellent doctors, so that helps)!  The second picture is Noelle with her blue tooth shampoo, the step before brackets!  She’s such a fun sport to approve this picture for the blog… she is old enough now that she says which pictures of her go on the blog.

 

Afterward, we did a little shopping!

After a wonderful La Madeline soup dinner, we came home to show Daddy!  This picture says it all… our baby is growing up!

Before (with orange slushy teeth, lol) and after with her pink/turquoise braces!
