Brace-Faces


OK, so this didn't happen today. It' s been an ongoing process. First, poor Ravyn, then Gabe and Simon. Simon went in yesterday and got the hardware put in his mouth. It's called a Herbst and what it does is bring his lower jaw forward. all within his mouth. No outward gear. When Ravyn got hers put in, a substitute teacher at school said, "What's in your mouth, your Dad's whole toolbox?" What a wonderful thing to say to an impressionable young lady that is in pain!! And you are in the teaching profession because......? I was so annoyed by the comment that I mentioned it to her teacher who ended up mentioning it to the principal. Don't mess with my kids!!! Anyway, Simon was a trooper. Not a complaint out of him! I though for sure that he would have a hard time but he surprised me once again.

I can't believe a teacher said that to her, either. For pity sake!

They all look cute! I remember thinking I looked weird when I got my braces on and then I thought I looked weird when I got them off.
