Braces

My boy just got a little bit closer to being a teen.  And with that comes that whole awkward phase where the process of becoming isn't pretty but the result is. There is now a beautiful amount of very expensive metal in his mouth.  When we made his appt. for the actual braces to go on, Luke negotiated with the ortho and convinced him to wait until after Halloween so he could eat all the candy he wanted.  Huge eye roll from me but the dr. went along with it.  The silver lining is that the braces really do curb his candy consumption. So far, he isn't bothered much by the braces and he actually enjoys going to the ortho's office.  I can't wait to see the final results in 2 years!
