It's Time for Orthodontics

Lucky Nolan! We're getting all the preliminary orthodontic work for Nolan done. The big braces day is scheduled for November 17th. Nolan wants to eat lots of apples, taffy and gum before those items become taboo. Yesterday we went and got his x-rays and oral photographs taken (they use these instead of impressions!). When Jonathan had these done, I wished I'd brought my camera because the technician makes the patient put these "pullers" in his mouth that move the lips and cheeks away from the teeth. When the pullers are in the mouth, the patient looks so funny. Well, lucky Nolan! I remembered my camera yesterday...
