Benjamin's Turn

It was Benjamin's big day yesterday to get his braces on!

AFTER:

What is that, you say?  You don't see any difference?  Neither do we!  That's because Benjamin got Invisalign.  :)  They are the coolest thing ever.  They are just clear "braces" that fit over the teeth like a retainer.  They cost the same as traditional braces, take less time overall, and you can eat without them and brush without them on like normal.  We can't even tell that they affect his speech at all.  Pretty amazing.  It's all computer generated and he gets new trays every two weeks (we don't have to go for visits that often, though).  Benjamin was pretty excited to get them and I'm sure he'll do great with them. 

Now if only poor Michaela could get the metal off her teeth, we would all be super happy for her!
