As per our Dentists recommendation, I took both boys to the Orthodontist this AM. Garrett and Gavin were both welcomed into the "keep a close eye on these boys" program. (They really have a name for it, but I can't remember it) They will both go for 6 month checkups -- free of charge(cuz you know they'll sock it to us when the dreaded day comes!) These check ups will help us to time the whole orthodontia sitch a bit better.
The Dr. also recommended Gavin go back to the Dentist and get 3 of his bottom teeth pulled. This is something we did for Garrett when he was 7 so his bottom teeth could come in better. I know it will help Gavin, especially since he's missing a baby tooth on the bottom but you can't tell because he has no room for the adult tooth to come in. Remember Gavin is missing his top two teeth -- thus, HOW WILL HE EAT?

Through a straw. Get out the blender!
eek. i have been avoiding the ortho because i know i'll have to get a second job just to pay for braces! dread!
Not that they need it, but ultra slim fast is nutritious and its madee for gummers, I think.
You're going to have to break down and buy the Magic Bullet.
Love that Orthodontic/dentist stuff. Poor Addison has only lost one tooth naturally- all the rest were pulled at different times to help with things. He has his braces now and is already looking quite handsome. Thank goodness for braces-even if they cost an arm and a leg. It really makes for better self-esteem. Make sure to post a pic. of the toothless wonder.
You can have my Magic Bullett!
