3 down and 3 to go

We have one happy camper in our house today.

After 5 years of wearing some kind of apparatus (pre-braces and braces) in his mouth, Garrett got his braces off today. Impressive right?

I went to pick him up at the dentist and he crossed the road smiling and pointing at his mouth.

He literally has been through the ringer with all the things he has had to do to fix, not only his teeth, but a severe underbite. It's been a long road but worth it.

This is Garrett wearing an appliance to correct the underbite. Thank goodness he only had to sleep with it on for about a year.

God has blessed our family with a great dentist. She really knows her stuff and and does a great job with everyone in our family. If it weren't for her (Eliane is her name), Garrett would have had to had surgery on his jaw and his mouth wired shut to fix the underbite. She attacked the problem at an early age and saved him lots of pain later.

She has already told us that Carys and Anderson will be needing some mouth work in the future so we are assuming Giovanni won't be far behind.

Bubble gum, gummy bears and hard candy for everyone......it's on Garrett.
