Megan's big day!!!!!

Megan had a big day today. She got her braces on. She was actually excited about getting them so hopefully she doesn't change her mind about that as they start to hurt.
Here is her before picture. The last moments before they put all the metal on.
They pulled her mouth wide open and started putting on the cleaner for her teeth so they would be all ready for the braces.
The braces are in that white plastic on her teeth. They paste this into her mouth and when they pull it off you have finished braces.
There they are before the wire is on.

The finished product. Complete with a wire and two colors of pretty blue bands. Very decorative. They look so cute and so far aren't hurting. The nurse said they might hurt for a couple of days so we went and bought yogurt and jello. :) She will get the bottom braces in about 4 months since the top teeth are the ones that need the most work.

She looks great! Kate was excited to get hers as well. How long does she have to have them on for?

Megan, you look beautiful, as always! :) Stacy, how did Megan feel about you taking the pictures with her mouth stuck wide open? Guess she couldn't complain much at the time! :) Hope they are still NOT hurting, Megan! Can't wait to see them in person!

I don't know that she was to excited about me taking the pictures but she didn't seem to argue. She has to have them 18 months they say so we will hope that is all the longer. :)
