Over the years it became apparent that Miss Beeb had a mouth full of torment ahead of her. Not only do her baby teeth appear to be super-glued into place, but she's missing a tooth on the bottom row, and one of her top front teeth was turned sideways. Every time she had an x-ray at the dentist he would pull me aside and tell me to start saving for orthodonture because her adult teeth would be a crooked mess.
After many months enduring an expander, braces on her top teeth, having a laser remove part of her gums in order to put a bracket on the tooth underneath and force it to move down (remember, super glued teeth), and the general pain of having braces tightened, wires poking, and eating restrictions; Beeb got her phase #1 braces off this week! Of course she still has a bunch of baby teeth that need to fall out, and the orthodontist didn't touch her bottom teeth yet, but so far her adjusted smile looks fabulous!

Good Job, Beeb! Phase #1 is D.O.N.E. Phew!
