My oldest daughter, Miranda, is getting braces!
Her teeth aren't that bad, just a little crooked in a couple of spots.
But, still. She's aware!
With her being a tween (13 in May), and more conscious of her looks, she had brought it up to us a couple of times about getting braces. Our dentist told us to wait, but I didn't understand why, so I just called my friend who works for an Orthodontist, and she made an appointment for her to come in for a consultation.
They said her "case" is an easy, straight forward one since her teeth aren't too bad. She had to have a mold done (gag), and I had to take her to another dental office to get these certain pictures taken of her teeth and profile.
I want to document her braces story here, so this way, I will always remember! LOL, I told her that I wouldn't take any funky pictures of her.
Her second appointment, which was a few days ago, was to put the spacers in the back of her teeth. Not painful at all, and we were only there for twenty minutes. Next appointment are for the bands. FUN!
Good news is that she will only need to wear the braces for maybe a year and a half to two years. Not long at all!

She's checking out the pictures that were taken of her teeth. She would die if I put those on here! LOL!!
These are bad pictures because I forgot my camera at home. These are all taken with my Blackberry. Here is a mold of her top teeth (it's upside down of course).
And, here is the bottom!
