Not the best picture (I forgot my camera so I used my camera phone) but this is Cody's bite as of today. And for most of you it doesn't look that good but trust me - this is. Before the appliance you couldn't see his top teeth as they sat behind the bottom ones. He is coming along great. Dr. D was very proud of his clean teeth and that he wore his special t-shirt. (They give a tshirt to all the kids wearing appliances and if you wear them you get a raffle ticket for a Target gift card). At first Dr. D tried to use some bonding material and glue the wire to the top teeth. But after he did it - it all came off. He is working with very little teeth. So instead he bent the wire and repositioned it. He still has one loose tooth on the bottom that we need to try and wiggle out of there. On the top the dead tooth is still holding on. He moved the wire from it as there is nothing to work against. He said he'll leave the tooth though as long as it doesn't cause him issues. So we will just watch it.
We don't have to go back for 6 weeks. Yeah! The weird thing is that is AFTER their birthday! UGH - they are turning 6 right around the corner. Crazy!
