High Drama.......
I took Alyssa to the orthodontist on Tuesday afternoon. They took impressions of her teeth and have decided that both her top and bottom jaws are too small and this is why she hasn't lost more of her baby teeth. They just don't have room to come in. She will have to wear a permanent appliance on top and bottom to stretch out her pallete, which sounds painful to me, but which the orthodontist says won't hurt her. This will be considered "Phase I" and will widen her jaws so that all of her teeth will have enough room to grow in. When she's eleven, "Phase II" will be the real braces and straighten the teeth that have come in. Jessica got back from her 2 day BETA trip to Dallas on Tuesday evening. She was very tired and quiet and I pretty much had to drag all of the information out of her. What I didn't find out from her, but from someone else, was that she ended up rooming with 2 seventh grade girls and a chaperone that she didn't know. ...
