After 2 years in braces, Emerson finally finished phase 1 of his treatment. He got them when he was 8. That seems pretty young, but his treatment requires 2 phases. Phase 1 was to correct his cross bite and he only had braces on his top teeth. Phase 2 will happen when he is 12-13 years old and he will have a full mouth of metal.
This event wasn't supposed to happen until 1/28, but one of his brackets popped off earlier this week. We went to the ortho on 1/6 to get it fixed, but he decided to take them off instead. He was so close to removal anyway. It just made sense. Hmmm... Maybe I should try that exit strategy? I want my braces off too, dang it!
