Gabe Has Braces!!!

Well, here's the newest member of the family to get the "hardware."  Gabe got braces on his top teeth last Monday.  They are going to expand his upper mouth in order to make room for his adult teeth to come in.  If everything goes right, the bottom teeth will adjust naturally as the top teeth get moved.  We may not have to get braces on the bottom at all.  Gabe was really excited until he realized he wasn't able to eat much for the first few days.  He hurt for awhile.  "Why do the braces have to be so mean?!"

Here's to a beautiful smile, Gabe!
