Rylee has anxiously been waiting the day that she gets braces put on her teeth and on November 18 that day finally arrived. I think its cute and funny how all of my kids were so excited to get braces until they actually get them put on and the pain sets in. Poor Rylee has been in quite a bit of pain and hasn't been able to eat much. I brought her a milkshake then day she got her braces on and have been sending her to school with canned chicken noodle soup in a Hydroflask, defrosted berries (they are mushier) and raman noodles. She has been taking an Ibuprofen in the morning and I send her one in her lunch to take when that first one wears off. She has been handling it pretty good and the pain in her teeth has lessoned, now she is dealing with getting her cheeks used to the braces. They have been getting a little cut up and she has started using the wax. I keep reassuring her that it will get better and she won't have to be in pain the entire time she is in braces.
Rylee had the option for silver or a more white gold braces and she chose the gold. She also picked Burgandy for her bands and I told her that her mouth looked like it was decorated for the Holidays.
Kelsey put her braces on and while he was helping someone else Kefford put her wire in and the bands.
She looks so cute in her braces and I told her that she looks a year older. We decided that when she gets them taken off she will look younger again and we had a good laugh about that thought!
