Before
Dakota started to grow in his adult tooth behind his other baby teeth so we took him to the orthodontist and they said all of his 4 front teeth are doing the same thing, so we had to get them pulled out. He was so brave, he did not like the numbing from the shots, but was brave and didn't even wince when they pulled them out.
After
Now we have to get that tooth to come forward where it belongs. He has to sit everyday with a Popsicle stick in his mouth creating an "incline plane" as the ortho called it. It seems to be working so far, we just need more time.
Popsicle stick sounds better than braces! But poor kid. Hope the tooth fairy made it worth it. P
