About two weeks ago, Spencer got his braces. We spent about 3 hrs at the orthodontist getting the mold and braces put on his teeth and I got to read for 3 hrs and watch periodically. He has done a great job taking care of them and doing all the brushing.
He was pretty grossed out by the pictures of the bad brushing and puffy gums. He lost a tooth today and only has one more baby tooth to lose. He chose red rubber bands for this time,but will get them changed every 12 wks at his regular visit. 
After our orthodontist visit, I took Spencer to get Maid Rites for lunch. He had no problem eating, but had a lot stuck in his teeth at the end. His mouth didn't start to hurt and bother him until the next day. He wanted to eat cereal, but couldn't do it. I have been fixing him scrambled eggs for breakfast and that seems to be his thing now.

Kate has finished her expander stage and is now in the retainer stage. She will be ready for braces in about 18 months when Spencer will be getting his off. How lucky are we?

Red rubber bands huh!! Isn't that a Ohio State color. Thought he would have done blue for colts. HA! HA! Hope that he is doing better. I know how sore your mouth is to get use to them.
