Braces for Lexi

Lexi has braces! Actually this is phase 1 of whatever they deem necessary for Lexi later on.  This picture is at the orthodontist office. Apparently they celebrate summer by having a snow cones at the office for a couple of months.  Pretty awesome! This was the visit right before Lexi got her braces on.  

It's actually a mouth expansion.  The orthodontist thinks she may not have to have braces on a second time (when all her permanent teeth are in) if we can get them to come in straight now.  Fingers crossed! For now, she has a new look for about 18 months.

I actually really like her orthodontist and his office. They send out texts to have you write a review for the office after you have an appointment. If you do, you get a gift card to Subway and you also can get 2 free movie tickets.  I've gotten quite good at writing a quick review.  I guess it could be my new job......
