Brace Face

Totally Carlye had her first orthodontist appointment.  They did molds of her mouth, and she gets her braces on in a few weeks.  Poor thing!  Her mouth was SO so small that they had to keep digging around for smaller molds to put in her mouth.  They finally found one that would fit, but the dental assistant said that in all her years working for the orthodontist she had NEVER used those tiny molds!  Haha!  She has a tiny, crowded mouth and a cross bite.  So now we have two (or more) years of braces.   And orthodontist appointments.  And so much more fun.......

Hopefully we can get hers off before we get Nathanael's on.  Fingers crossed that Noah will be my one and only with straight teeth!

Is insurance covering it? Marcus's was a damaging issue more than cosmetic, so insurance covered it. They want him to get them back on for cosmetic purposes in a couple of months, but I am not sure it is worth it for him at this point.

I don't know - they took x-rays yesterday and we'll know more. I'm thinking right now that the insurance won't cover any of it. :(
