I'm sorry it has taken so long to share the results of Wednesday's appointment! This vacation hasn't seemed like much of a "vacation," and blogging time has been pretty scarce. Kaitlynn was apprehensive about the appointment, knowing that it was going to be painful. She was a trooper, and within just a few minutes she was ready to go home.
The doctor removed all of the metal, and ended up doing it without numbing her. They used some of the gel that they typically put on the gums before injections, and that was it. The staff kept bragging about how tough she was...I told them that she definitely didn't get it from me!
She has small holes in her gums where the wires were, but those should heal nicely if we can keep them clean. Her teeth look fantastic! Most people wouldn't know anything happened. Her gum line is a little off, but that is already starting to take care of itself.
She is not allowed to bite into anything for at least six months. If the teeth start to darken, she will have to face some root canals, but we're hoping and praying for the best. The teeth were young, and that is in our favor.
Thanks to everyone for your prayers!
