Well, K finally had his tooth braces removed after nearly 3 years! Now he has to wear retainers for life, as apparently the teeth can shift. The orthodontist seemed proud of his work (like art or sculpture, I imagine) and a perfect set of teeth it is too!
PJ has the funniest post, I think it's a wonderful tribute to Middle Age, do check it out!

Really? You have to wear retainers for LIFE? Wow! Both my kids had braces and they just had to wear it for a couple of years, I think. They do shift though. My son was OK but my daughter's teeth did shift.
Kay he has these thin wires glued to the backs of his teeth and a plastic mold to wear on the top teeth at night. As far as I remember, it's for life. And he has to floss with floss threaders now, that go under the wire. The price of beauty!
wow that is a lot of work, I am so thankful that both my kids have nice straight teeth! Thanks for the mention!
i can vouch for the need for the retainer. i have a friend whose teeth went all haywire when she didn't wear her retainer. such a lousy waste of money and time.
did you say free books?!!!!
Oh how exciting for him! What was the first thing he wanted to eat? All those forbidden things one can't have while wearing braces? Or has he lost the taste for those things?
SoccerMom, you are so lucky your kids have perfect teeth! Wow. L didn't need braces, but she does have a retainer wire glued to the back of her teeth.
Julie, according to SoccerMom the free book site works.
Japra, I was surprised to learn that he still has to be careful because of the delicate retainer wires glued to the backs of his teeth...so he's supposed to cut his apples rather than chomp thru them, etc! Still, it's a big improvement.
