Wednesday at Dr. Wilmot's

Hannah has been wearing her retainer and expander since June and now it is time to get braces on the upper teeth. Don't worry, even though Hannah appears to have an anxious expression in this picture, I assure you, she was fine. Dr. Wilmot and her staff are quite good and make you feel at ease.

Okay, are you ready? Hannah let me take a picture right after they were all done.

See my new smile in progress.

In six to nine months, if she continues to take good care of her appliances and teeth, all of this will come off, and her teeth will be in the right place for good oral hygeine and a great smile. Note: the pink stuff you see is her lower retainer, which is expanding her lower jaw to make room for all of those now crowded teeth on the bottom. It is so much better than it was.
