Orthodontics Again?!

Yep, once again, Elle has entered the fun stage of orthodontia.  We love our original orthodontist in CA, but 6 month appointments with him are kind of expensive.  So, we found one here.--who we didn't like at all.  Many reasons, really.  The clincher, though, was his insistence on putting  This contraption in Elle's mouth to move her jaw because of her supposedly "huge overbite."    Her CA orthodontist thought the guy here must be crazy.  He opened up his big book of orthodontist, found one in our area that graduated from a top notch school and said we  should see what he had to say.

Coincidentally, this new orthodontist is the same guy my friend's son uses.  She gave him good reviews so we made an appointment for a consultation.


Also coincidentally, he did his undergraduate at BYU.
And another coincident, I saw him at Stake conference last week.
Perhaps not a coincident after all.
(PS my friend isn't LDS)


 During the consultation, he kept saying all the same things our CA had said.   It was refreshing to know he was on the same page.  We set up an appointment to get Elle on her way.


Elle still has strange things in her mouth, but the plan is to move her teeth, not her jaw like that creepy thing the other guy suggested.  It's rubber bands and a removable retainer.  She'll go right into braces once her teeth are aligned (in about 2 months)
