Lily had her first orthodontic device installed yesterday morning before school. I had to pick her up early from school because she was experiencing pain and couldn't find the tylenol in her school bag (side pocket). The orthodontist forgot to mention that we should apply wax to the exposed screws that would inevitably poke her cheeks until they were scraped and painful. They didn't provide us with any either and although Paul had braces many years ago, apparently he forgot about the wax. Poor Lily. We made a quick call to Paul's dentist cousin after a facebook status led to suggestions of applying wax to relieve her pain and he suggested we give her sugarfree gum to top the screws with until we make it to the dentist for wax supplies. Here is a little peek into her mouth.
On another note, Lily made pancakes this morning.
