wakely gets his braces off

Wakely got his braces taken off on the 18th after having them almost a year. He now wears a retainer and still wears his head gear at night. I am really loving his smile!!

Way to go Wakely! (I still can't believe how young they are when they get braces now! What a great idea.)

He was young to have braces. From my understanding Kim,they only do this for kids needing a jaw adjustment (in which he did) hoping to correct it early and not have to break it later on to make the adjustment. It doesn't always work but I think it is worth trying.

Usually when someone gets braces early they will need them later to finish the job--is that the case with him? Is his head gear pushing/pulling the top or bottom jaw?
