On the way to the orthodontist I told James we needed to take one more picture with his braces on. Then we pulled up a minute late and ran in and I totally forgot. Here is a picture from his trip to Wind Rivers and shows his braces well.
It has been quite the ride with him and his braces! He started with them 3 years ago! Then got them off 5 months later after having an allergic reaction to the latex and nickel. Nine months later he got ceramic braces and latex free bands put on. He did great after that but it took forever to get everything into place.
There is an episode of The Middle when Sue has worn braces for years and years. Every time she thinks she will get them off the orthodontist says three more months. Check up after check up he tells her that. I started to feel like that with James. His last appointment was three hours and then he was finally done!
He's entering 9th grade brace free!
