Brace Face

 There. I said it. That was the only title that seemed right. Let the record show I have not called Kaj this.

He looked so handsome with his braces, actually! 😍 Just me?

Kaj got his braces on the day before we left for our trip to Utah. I was ready for the flood gates for complaining and whining to begin but there was none of that. He asked for Tylenol when he needed it, and even when it was quite time yet he was patient and did not make a big deal of it. We had prepped him in advance and I think that helped. But, yeah, he is in phase 2 of his early orthodontic treatment and I am so happy we got him moving a long with this early. It is amazing the changes they have made in this department since I had braces in just their approach to it. It is crazy to have kids this young starting with braces but it also seems like such a smart move- in my professional opinion 😏 instead of waiting for all the teeth to come in and to see what disaster they need to fix to actually be proactive and make changes early so down the road it will go a lot smoother. I mean, yeah, Kaj will have braces on twice 🤪 but he will not have to have braces on for years and years and years.

I loved his crooked tooth smile before, I love his current braced smile, and I know I will love it after.
