Brace Face...

So we have started another child in orthodontia :)

Miguel went to the ortho yesterday and got his expanders put in. For those of you who may not know what an expander is or does, it does just what it says, it expands. Diego had one and it was quite weird. They put this contraption in the roof of his mouth and for seven days he has to turn the little crank and it moves his teeth apart. I was sure to take a picture of the before because the after is quite different, I will be posting them soon. It will probably move his two front teeth about 1/2 inch apart by the time he is done. Then on the bottom he has one as well but I don't think it does quite as much as the top.

So now, he talks very funny and very slurred, and then of course we have the always irritating 'SLUUUUUUURP' that comes with these nice pieces.

Antonio won't be far behind, I am sure.

Love to all
Darci
