Will's Expander...

Will had his expander put in today at the Orthodontist's office. He was very apprehensive about doing all that they wanted him to do, but we finally got through it!!

For some reason he didn't want them to use the basic dental tools, e.g. the air blower, the water sprayer and the suction (Dawn - sorry if I just embarrassed you by my lack of technical terms!!). Now we have to work on his speech!! He's a little hard to understand now! Hopefully after a week or two he'll be talking normal again.

Anyway, here are some pictures of his appliance if you want to see what it looks like.

Please ignore the sore on the side of his mouth, our next step will be to find a dermatologist!

My goodness . . . all the metal in little Will's mouth. Give him a BIG hug from Grandma Linda too!! That should help keep the sore away. LOL!

He IS a big boy and I'm proud of him too.
