He goes back to be fitted for retainers tomorrow. He couldn't care less about the braces thing, except that he got a "prescription" from the orthodontist to chew as much gum as he wants. Overall, he's done a terrific job taking care of his teeth while wearing his braces for the last two years, so I treated him to a bag of his favorite kinds of gum.
On another note, Moe saw the orthodontist for the first time and apparently is going to need braces as well. He recommended Moe have his upper baby canines pulled so his front four teeth can straighten up on their own. Curly Sue already has had three of her baby canines pulled and wore a palatal expander for six months, so we've at least gotten that part of her orthodontia done and paid for.
It's pricey, but oh so worth it when you look at what Larry's teeth looked like three or four years ago and what they look like today! (Of course, I think he's a most handsome young man anyway, but of course I'm biased...)
