We talked this over with her before choosing to do it....it wasn't a must but something mentioned to Kaylee and I at her follow up appt after her expander was removed a few months ago! Once she heard having them would help bring her two front teeth back a little (a little sooner than having braces)she made up her mind that she wanted to do it now! So few that reason and the fact that doing this would help avoid possibly injury to her teeth we knew we needed to! So she did and was great....love her strength!!!
Step 1 was expander (4mon)
Step 2 a retainer (couple weeks)
Step 3 bracket no longer than a year
Step 4 is talk of an expander for bottom jaw but not for another year probably
Step 5 will be braces as of right now...but not until she's around 11 or so..whenever all her baby teeth are out!
