Hailey’s Headgear
For the past several months Hailey has had a permanent retainer installed in the top of her mouth. We identified pretty early on that her teeth were pretty messed up so we got her started early on the braces. Well, after several months of retainer it was finally time for her to get her headgear. It’s not the facial monstrosity I had pictured in my mind and she luckily only has to wear it in the evenings so she won’t have to worry about having it on at school. The funny part is how excited she was to get it. She asked repeatedly if the next visit to the orthodontist was when she’d get her headgear and when the day finally came you’d have thought it was Christmas in June. I’m pretty sure the “fun-ness” has worn off now that’s she realized it’s kind of a pain in the butt, but she’s been real good about wearing it so far. Guess we’ll have to see how long that lasts.
