Lily has an underbite. It's not that her teeth are crooked, it's that her jaw is misaligned. The long term plan is to have her fitted with braces but we are waiting for Paul's work to adopt a better dental plan before we embark on that journey. In the meantime, she is being fitted with a retainer that will help to reposition her jaw so that her top teeth will fall over the bottom teeth. This morning was her first orthodontist appointment. She gagged all the way through the top fitting but was a trooper through the bottom. She is very excited about the prospect of a retainer or braces. It's the cool thing at school. Bye Bye Two Thousand Dollars!
