My mom worked for an orthodontist for a few years. Every time we are in Pensacola, we go in and visit Dr. Karen. The kids love to get in her chair and let her look at their teeth. We've known Jaelyn would need her cross bite fixed since she was about 3 or 4. We've just been waiting to see if it would shift itself when her 6 year molars came in. It didn't and they are in now. Jaelyn doesn't do so well at the dentist. She'll let them clean, but it really upsets her. We have 2 orthodontic consults scheduled in the next month. Could either of them be as nice and comforting as Dr. Karen? I'm praying and hoping so.
Allie is going to be right behind Jaelyn needing expansion as soon as her baby teeth start coming out. Her mouth is so crowded with her tiny teeth. I can't imagine her with big huge permanent teeth. She's 6 years 2 months and not a single tooth is loose; so we have time.
I'm afraid Caden will follow in both the girls' footsteps. My 4 1/2 year old is STILL sucking his thumb. He's got a weird bite thing going as well.
We are so going to need that raise Dan is about to get. Orthodontics is so expensive - even with bad insurance.
