After.........
Notice anything different? Yes! Christopher got braces yesterday! As you can tell by the after, he wasn't too thrilled. Those things hurt when they tighten them up. He also had an expander put in the roof of his mouth, so it's been difficult to take clearly. Poor guy-but he's getting used to it. They should put the bottom ones on in a few months. After they put them on, they had us watch a video together on caring for his braces. When they got to the "diet" section, they showed the foods that you should not have like licorice, skittles, now and laters, and starburst-yes, they showed those specific ones. Christopher let out a big "Darn!" since those are pretty much his four favorite candies! The hygenist was laughing and said that all the kids say that at that part. When he got home, he promptly gifted the remainder of the licorice he had bought last week to his sister (how sweet!) and resigned himself to 2 years without his faves. Obviously, he hasn't discovered just how yummy a butterfinger bar or M and M's can be....yet! With time, I'm sure he'll come up with a whole new list of favorites!
