Should I do that instead of facebook? My New Year's Resolution was to spend significantly less time on my phone and I'm semi-failing. I'm better, but not as good as I want to be...

It's certainly not necessary, but since it's included for me I like the extra protection from the fact that I freaking hate flossing my children's teeth and pretty much never do it (don't tell). But to answer your question- both Landon and Claire have had it applied, along with James and me :). (And Cora will when she's older and can hold her mouth open and not swallow it.)LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-79590643550744628042017-05-06T13:44:04.908-05:002017-05-06T13:44:04.908-05:00This was super helpful to start my mental budgetin...This was super helpful to start my mental budgeting. And then when our Round 1 solution ended up being just a few braces on his top row of teeth for $1100 I felt like we were getting an incredible deal and saving all the dollars instead of spending $1100.

They're going to break or get lost anyway and there isn't a big difference in the leaking (in fact, there's often less bc the cheap ones are smaller and fit their tiny faces better). Good luck!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-39069667700065783052017-05-06T13:41:30.725-05:002017-05-06T13:41:30.725-05:00We ended up with a plan of 4 front braces, which i...We ended up with a plan of 4 front braces, which is adorable and also MUCH cheaper than a full set. They just need to immediately correct his bite issue (top and bottom front teeth exactly touch, so they click every time he closes his mouth, and he's already chipped off a little piece of the (adult!) front center tooth) and then later we'll "get" to pay for another set! But at least we're starting small and I will TOTALLY still get a few massages ;).LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-7702126841331383552017-05-04T17:20:03.984-05:002017-05-04T17:20:03.984-05:00Good luck with the braces!

It was not as traumatic as I expected (and we only had one thing break, when he ate something he shouldn't have - an apple slice!). Our year - more like 10 months - went very quickly and with very few complaints. I wish the same good luck for Landon!

I think he will have them about a year. To give you an idea on cost, this was about $3600 all inclusive. If you pay up front, our orthodontist gives a discount. He will also need a second round of braces once all his adult teeth come in. This round is to move teeth into right place. His teeth were a huge mess before we started.

When I was a kid nobody had them until 8th or 9th grade!<br /><br />Where did you find goggles tiny enough to fit cora? I've been trying to find a pair for my cora, but everything I've found locally or ordered is too big for her almost four year old face.

They all started with expanders at this age and got braces late middle school to early high school. Expanders are an adjustment, for sure, but nothing you guys can't handle. Three of mine "got" to wear reverse pull head gear at night also. Expanders are also about half the price braces will be, so maybe you will still get a few massages!sewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.com
