Emmi's braces are now off. She had a front tooth which was crooked and it was damaging the backs of the bottom teeth beneath it. After the braces were first put on, we were amazed to the see that the tooth straighted out in about three or four days! As you can imagine, she was pretty miserable during those first few days. After that initial move, they were just making fine adjustments and letting the tooth settle into place. No guarantees, but they are hoping that she won't need to have a second round.
As you can see from the picture below, she was very happy to have them removed. The orthodontists office gave her balloons and a bag of candy. She also earned a gift card to Target and I took her to buy a toy, get cheesy popcorn and gum. When we got home, she was very good girl and shared the chocolate with her brother and mother.
