It has begun

So we have known for a while that Kenna was going to need braces, but the time has now come!

If you can tell, just the the right of her front tooth she had a permanent tooth coming in before the baby one was even out!!  Needless to say, she doesn't have room for all those big teeth coming in!!
The orthodontist said that the tooth would probably have to be pulled because it wouldn't have the help of the permanent tooth to help dissolve the roots.  Hmm...not so happy about that. So I bribed her with a toy she really wanted and we had it out within 24 hours....YES!!  She was scared but she was brave enough to let me pull it out (after much wiggling of the tooth!)

So off to the Orthodontist. They put in rubber bands between the back tooth to make room for the metal brackets that will help widen her palate. 

She got a "no Payne, no gain" shirt she is wearing in this picture. Her Orthodontist's name is Dr. Payne. Kind of funny if you ask me!  She has got one lone ranger tooth in front and hopefully those others will have some room soon to come in!! We are excited to see her progress as she gets her braces!! Yay Kenna!!!!
