Kenton got his braces off today! He has had them on, along with other appliances, for 37 months. He looks so handsome - I never believed that his unique problems would work out so fantastically! YAHOO! He will have to wear a retainer with a fake tooth until he is 18. When he is 18, he can have a tooth implant. If he doesn't wear his retainer, his teeth will begin to move, fill in the space and then he'll have to have braces again - EEEK! After hearing that, Kenton seems quite committed to wearing this retainer every day and night (thank you, Kenton!) We're about to have "back to school blessings". The boys start tomorrow. I will miss them horribly.
