Elliott was so excited to get his braces on today! Our dentist recommended that we have a consultation with the orthodontist and boy oh boy, did he find some problems with Elliott's teeth! He has a cross-bite and once we looked closely we saw that one front tooth overlapped in front of the bottom teeth while the other tooth overlapped behind the bottom teeth. Also, his permanent teeth didn't have room to come in correctly. He has had an expander for a few months and now is ready for the braces. See those crooked beauties!
Cleaning off the teeth before the brackets are glued on.
Elliott was really calm and patient while getting the brackets and the wire.
The fun part was picking the color of the bands. Elliott chose green.
Elliott is growing up so fast! He loves each new adventure and has a great attitude!
Elliott is ready to take care of his braces and embrace this time of no sticky foods. Wish him luck!
