Nathan is 19 months into his orthodontic adventure. They originally told us he'd be done in 12-15 months. At least they just charged us once and it doesn't matter how many times we have to go in but we are sure sick of going there every 6 weeks!
After they fixed his bite, they made room in his mouth using brackets on just his permanent teeth. When his front permanent teeth finally came in, they put brackets on all his top permanent teeth. This was about a month ago. They tell me within 3 months he will be done! I sure hope so! From there, he will need to wear a retainer for awhile. But in theory his top teeth should never need more work.
I guess we'll see how his remaining bottom teeth grow in. If they are not too crooked, we will keep our fingers crossed that he will be done with orthodontics forever!
The orthodontist checked Elizabeth and told us her bite looks fine. Thank goodness no work for her! We'll wait and see how crooked her teeth come in when she's around 11-12. Maybe we'll get lucky with no braces for her.
