This is what we did for Presidents day. Got braces on Conors teeth. We've known for years that he would be getting braces early. Several dentists have told us so. He has pretty badly crowded teeth and a crossbite. So to prevent him from having to have some pretty gruesome oral surgery stuff done in the future, we've opted for early braces. This will make things much easier on him in the end. He may have to have braces again when he's older but they can work with his growing bone structure now to make things a lot easier in the future. Thank goodness for modern technology and knowledge. If they had known to put braces on me early I could have kept those 4 teeth they pulled before they put me in braces. People just get smarter and smarter. It's great!
Conor was SO EXCITED to get them on. He can't wait to show them off. I'm sure in 15 months he'll be SO EXCITED to get them off!
Right before getting them on. Does he look happy or what!

Hey Conor! mighty fine looking braces! you look really good! We love you little buddy. Don't eat any caramels! Love you, PaPa.
Cassidy had to have the same thing done at just about Connor's age because of her crossbite. It has wonderful results, so I am sure it will be a great thing for Connor..
Christa
He might not like them so much the next day when they start hurting :S So awesome the things they can do now a days :)
how old is he again??? I didn't know they could get braces so young. He looks so proud of them!
