The last "before" picture of Carter without braces:
The day had finally come for Carter to get his braces. We ended up choosing to go with Britton Orthodontists, last minute, when we got a second opinion after Schatz. Wow... what an overall awesome experience. Worst case, Carter will have them off the Summer before high school. The first 48 hours, he was extremely sore and trying how to figure out how wear a mouth guard for sports and still breath. He took advil for the first 24 hours and they were very tender, but by day 4-5, he said they finally weren't sore anymore. A week, he is being super diligent about brushing, flossing with the special sticks and putting the special fluoride on before bed, each night.
January 23, 2020 - Carter's first wire change!
May 4th - 5 months into braces! Teeth are looking good, Dr. Britton starts rubberbands to start working on bite as we wait for final back molars to start coming in by end of the year or next year.
Dec 7 - Exactly 1 year later! Carter at check up!
