Our new car payment

So yesterday we found out that we now have a new car payment. Too bad it is not for a car. Nope, we have entered that age where the word "braces" can sometimes be heard. Ser's dentist has been on me to take her to an orthodontist for about a year and I have been putting it off for obvious reasons.
Sure enough, she does need braces. One day she is going to kill me for posting these, but I am going to because I think it is cool that technology has enabled me to and because I want to document what I am spending that money on when it sure as heck isn't the vehicle it should be!
The pictures of her teeth show that her top jaw is in a v shape and her bottom is in a u. Not a horrible thing, except that it causes the outside of her top teeth to hit the inner edge of the bottom and over time that uneven pressure will cause her to need more dental work. She also has a mild overbite and is a tongue thruster, whatever that means. Two years of braces should correct it all and for that money it better!
There is a pic of her before smile which of course I think is gorgeous but Dr. Moellen ensures that it will be even and fuller when the process is complete. That girl better love us is all I can say.
