And they’re off!
After three years of bands, brackets and blisters , Hannah got her braces off today.
And she’s never had a cavity!
Rachel started our family’s Sojourn to Straightness on December 20, 2003.
In April, 2004, Rachel chose “Fiesta Colors” for her bands. Talk about a party in your mouth!
We had two in braces at once with Rachel and Lois, then later with Lois and Hannah. Because we could see this coming, we joined a DMO when we moved here. Belonging to a DMO means you don’t have to cruise as many dimly-lit convenience stores to fund those grins.
I had two “Full Metal Daughters” in February, 2005.
So today marks the end of seven years and four months of making the orthodontist’s office our second home.
Three kids in braces spread over seven years plus Rachel’s 17 broken brackets necessitating an extra year of treatment – I estimate we’ve parked here about 150 times since December 20, 2004.
I’d like to say we’re finished but…..
I suspect we’ll be back in two or three years.
So – what the heck – we might as well smile!
