My Little Brace Face

Poor Kid...our oldest had to get some braces today. He has a dental underbite and some crowding. He has just 6 on top and 6 on bottom. His back teeth line up with each other, but it's the frontal set that needed reshaping. Even though he's smiling here, he's not too happy about this. His teeth are already sore. I tried to promise him he'd get used to them and his teeth would too. I said, "At least you don't have to try and relearn how to play the French Horn." I had braces put on after 3 or years of playing the French Horn and had plenty of cuts and scrapes on the insides of my lips from trying to play after getting braces. But I still feel for him...sorry buddy!
