Paige has had several orthodontist appointments this year and finally yesterday they put braces on! She just has 4 on the top front teeth. They were also going to put in the palette expander yesterday, but she was quite skittish just getting the braces on so they decided to give her a few weeks to adjust and relax before taking the next step. They want this to be a fairly positive experience for her, even if it takes some extra time getting things going!

She was like a rockstar once she got to school with her braces. All the kids were coming up to her throughout the day to see her braces. She's either the first or second in her class to have them, but lots more will be starting the process soon as well. The orthodontist lets them pick out the color of the bands. She picked blue this week, but is already thinking of what color she'll change to at our next appointment in 3 weeks!
