I really don't like the term "tween", but, now that our oldest just got braces... we can feel those teen years right around the corner. Carver will be 11 this summer and he will have his braces on til he is about 13ish. Anyway, he is doing great with them. His attention to detail is definitely paying off in the way that he is suddenly very interested in his oral hygiene. I guess the fact that he can earn prizes from his ortho. doesn't hurt either! You may think that his teeth don't look too bad in the before pic. However his bite is totally off and his top teeth are gradually pushing his bottom teeth backwards. Now he has a buildup on his back molars to keep his teeth from hitting eachother til they straighten out a bit.
Anyway, I have a lot more to update. Be on the lookout.
