So....Tuesday was a much anticipated day for Mr. Jake. He was scheduled to get his braces off. I took a half day at work. picked him up from school and headed to the orthodontists.....
Jake was quiet. Jake was unusually quiet. He was worried, nervous and anxious. I assured him that everything was going to be fine. I reminded him that he felt the exact same way on the day he was scheduled to get the braces put ON. He chuckled a nervous little laugh and said..."yea, your right mom.".
We talked about how he was so against having braces. How he insisted that he was "ok" with his teeth. That he "likes the way I look". We talked about how I told him that at 11 years old the gappy teeth and the overbite is kinda cute and endearing.... but when you hit your teenage years and older... you will be happy we "made you get braces".
I think he believes us..... Check out the difference 2 years and a set of braces can make.
The before and after photos are amazing. The changes in Jake are incredible.
BEFORE BRACES
What a handsome fellow!
