Meg had an orthodontist appointment this morning and was pleased to hear that everything was progressing as planned. Her teeth had been straightened months ago and her overbite correct last spring. Since she had been missing four adult teeth, the final goal to reach was to close all of the gaps left when Meg's baby teeth were removed in 2019. The top spaces closed long ago, but the bottom two took quite a bit of time to follow suit. Thankfully, the springs and wire that they put in place in November had taken hold and the bottom teeth had moved enough to start the discussion about when Meg would get her braces off.
Before we left, the orthodontist made an appointment for her in April to see if the gaps continued to close. If that happened then she would have impressions in May for a retainer and two weeks after that she would say goodbye to braces for good. Meg and I were both thrilled as we thought that it would be longer than that. Before today Meg had even told herself that as long as they were off by the time she graduated from college she would be happy. Thankfully, that should not be the case and soon Meg will be brace free and able to eat popcorn once again.
