I hope for your sake that she is better at cleaning them than mine is.  

 

 

Probably being older.  Something about being in high school likely.

Do not irk, provoke, or enrage the potentially outspoken Ontarklar, no man!

Is Mini-N.-B. fully spaced-out now, huh Niki-B. ma'am?

It was too much space.  Ended up having to wear some elastics that were stronger to reduce a gap (that was non-existent imho.) 

 

I wonder if i had my wisdom teeth removed if my teeth would even out... imma ask in March at my next cleaning.

So the older one's braces are coming off in a month, but she is getting both a glued in retainer and a regular one. Poor kid. 

This is how my middle nephew has to look like a couple hours per day ;)

For the rest of the time he has something inside of his mouth installed. He's gonna wear it for a year. Dunno how it is properly named in English, but his upper jaw is narrower than the lower one, so it has to be extended. Poor Peter. It hurts like hell.

Took Mini-B. to Langosta Roja (Red Lobster) for birthday din-din, favorite fancy place of wee man.

Mrs. T-B. had tummyache from having ingested her own cooking earlier, poetic justice man.

 

Inspected lobsters in tank, sea food man.

Named Many of them (Larry, Leo, Linus, and Lacey), American lobsters man.

Named one of them Lacho, Spanish lobster man.

 

Mini-B. had popcorn shrimp & French fries/ketchup, satisfied wee man.

Mrs. T-B. had shrimp tacos, ingest anyway she man.

We had tilapia, forgot to ask for it blackened man.

 

At end, staff brought ice cream/brownie with lit candle and caterwauled "Happy Birthday" to Mini-B., pleased wee man.

Mini-B., who had ingested his whole din-din, also ingested his whole dessert, ravenous wee man.

He is now officially Many years old, up-growing wee man.

 

Returned to casa in time for our preferred/necessary postprandial nap, zzz we man.

Happy belayed Birthday wishes to Mini-B! :)

Looks like you all had a good time! :D

My daughter's elastics are under her archwire when she has them instead of a chain.  Non-removable.  They are hard to clean.

Personal anecdote - had my impacted ones removed almost a decade ago..bottom teeth never went back from their tiny overlap.

A couple of kids in my daughter's class have palette extenders.  I think that is what you are talking about and I've heard they hurt.  

 

This is what they are thinking of doing in two years instead of headgear for my daughter:

That's why the dentist/orthodontist's office is called "The House of Pain," ouch man.

When the problems are skeletal, no amount of moving the teeth around will achieve anything, oj nie.

We remain furious at our long-ago orthodontist for messing up our mouth, conscious daily torment man.

Discussion recently has been at far too lofty a level, so therefore where's Steveklar man.

Meanwhile, be sure to order your Valentine's Day pre-owned toilet seat promptly, supplies limited man.

There is no greater expression of love or commitment, confirmed fact man.

In NZ, they used to have Nurses in school dental clinics. Called aptly, the Murder House.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.
