So as to make room and see if that would help her wicked crossbite. At least I think that's what he said; I had a strange buzzing in my ears by that point. Frankly the bionic contraption when she's 8 sounds a lot better to me.

I have room for all my wisdom teeth and then some, and so does hubby. Although as I get older my teeth are harder to floss. My dentist told me teeth naturally want to crowd to the front for some reason. It's like they're trying to escape.Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323783519078200647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-30570282243020112202009-03-06T18:13:00.000-05:002009-03-06T18:13:00.000-05:00There is no diving in my shallow gene pool either....There is no diving in my shallow gene pool either.

I have been avoiding making an ortho appt -- my 8 yr old has a small mouth and an overbite. My 12 and 11 yr olds are not perfect but pretty lucky. So we'll know an opinion soon. When the ortho fights me on when is the best time to start I can tell him that I had braces at age 28 and mine moved in place beautifully with a two-year treatment.
