Braces...Again

Amy.  She's not happy.  The small brace that was attached to the back of Amy's teeth fell off.  Her front teeth started to drift apart again.  I took her in last Friday for another look by our dentist.  He added two brackets to her front teeth with a power chain.  By Saturday Amy was in quite a lot of pain.  By Sunday, I could tell that the power chain was going above and beyond the call of duty and Amy's teeth were starting to be pulled together in a v-shape.  Not good.

We had originally had an appointment at 2 pm on Monday afternoon but the dentists' office was able to fit us in at 9:30 am.  Sadly, Amy thought she would be getting the braces off altogether; instead, the dentists applied two more brackets and a wire.  But at least she isn't complaining so much about the pain and her teeth aren't being horked in the wrong direction.  She wouldn't smile.
