Erica's upper braces installation










After couple months of jaw expansion, it's time for Erica to install braces on her upper teeth! Erica has been quite nervous in the past week, she was not too worry about the pain, she was more concern about her look after the orthodontist put on the braces. Mommy said her new look will work perfect for Halloween, Erica decided to be a witch with rainbow color braces!

We had a appointment at 2pm, the procedure went very well. The assistant first polish and dried Erica's teeth, then install braces on her upper teeth, the orthodontist checked and adjusted the placement of the braces, the assistant cured the cement with UV light, finally installed the wires. The whole thing only took about 40 minutes. Erica was very excited about her new braces and can't wait to go back to school and show to her classmates. She is due back for adjustments in 8 weeks, she will wearing braces for the next 18 month!
