My daughter is in braces now. My younger daughter will likely have them in the summer. My son is only 5 so we have some time to save up money.<BR/><BR/>Funny we had an ortho appt and I posted about my observations of the day on my blog. I chose our ortho office on the basis of recommendations from friends.

We had the 7 and 5 y/o eqivalents of K at our u/s a few weeks ago. Somehow I thought they might actually enjoy seeing their new brother on screen - which they did, for about 5 seconds, not the 2 hours we were there!Ramblin' Redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04653012877754804144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008851216836243944.post-31914341196365905982009-01-05T19:42:00.000-08:002009-01-05T19:42:00.000-08:00J got his off at the beginning of December. Just FYI---that's a thrilling 2 hour appointment. Oh, yeah, and then the nice assistant makes a big point about how it's $60 if he bends the metal in the retainer, $120 to replace each retainer---<BR/><BR/>I think I have sufficiently traumatized J into not throwing his retainers into the school trash cans, but we have five more months to go . . .mollybloomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00029652397480422375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008851216836243944.post-68757715912528838172009-01-05T19:36:00.000-08:002009-01-05T19:36:00.000-08:00Does an orthodontist waiting room smell like a regular dentist office?

Just kidding, although we <I>were</I> at the orthodontist office ourselves this morning. I'm thinking that next time, you might want to saunter back there with my boy and K and just casually let them start playing with the torture instruments.

It really was a pain. I'm thinking about getting them again though, as I wasn't a very good girl with my retainer. <BR/><BR/>Kids pitching fits.

My step-daughter is 11 needs them but we refuse to get them until she has ALL of her permanent teeth in. Because I had a friend that had to have them 3 different times because she got them at a young age before all of her permanent teeth were in and her teeth moved EVERY time she got a new one. I just figure wait till there all in and then we only have to pay for them once!!!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00869646035483403009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008851216836243944.post-76123013792794031802009-01-05T14:21:00.000-08:002009-01-05T14:21:00.000-08:00I don't miss when my kids used to squirm around on the floar and yell that I was pinching themMariahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12952616489949080213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008851216836243944.post-14154215443767708322009-01-05T13:43:00.000-08:002009-01-05T13:43:00.000-08:00Gotta love these appointments...urggghRachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12789958006196667045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008851216836243944.post-10089943761584386402009-01-05T13:38:00.000-08:002009-01-05T13:38:00.000-08:00LOL -- I'm not there yet (as far as braces go), but I know that I already hate waiting rooms.

I was asking for time off to take her all the time. Most of the time it would only take a few minutes. I can't imagine waiting that long with two other smaller children though.
