The Brace Age.

A recent diagnosis from our dentist mandated a detour to the orthodontist for us. One has some serious overbite troubles, the other has a few stubborn baby teeth that are causing her adult teeth to wander astray. Yikes. So... decision was made. Get 'em done. 

Here they are, bedded side by side, encountering yet another one of life's experiences. Together.

It was a rough few days at first, but now that it's been almost a week, I think the initial discomfort has subsided. Some dietary changes generated a few negative responses, but overall, they"re surviving.

 

One week in. Only seventy-seven more to go. Alana is counting down the days, actually. Apparently there's an app for that. Who knew?!
