Braces for Sadie

Today was a BIG day for Sadie...
she got her BRACES on!

We started out the day with a before picture
to remember her cute teeth the way they were.

When we arrived at the orthodontist
she was super excited.

One of the hygienists took us back to get her all set up
with x-rays, pictures and preping her teeth.

She had to put a mouth stretcher in to keep her teeth dry.

Sadie HATED it and HATES that I took this picture
while Dr. Trapnell put her brackets in place.:-)

It was a BIG choice deciding on which color bands to put on.
FINAL DECISION...
ORANGE on top
and PINK on the bottom.
I think it was a good choice!

We had the funniest conversation at lunch after wards.
She said
"I'm going to have to learn to eat all over again".
I said "I'm sorry, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quickly".
She said
"that's ok it's kind of fun.
I haven't had to do this since I was a baby"

I love it! just look at this grin.
What a cutie! Love 'em bugs...can't wait to see how they turn out.
