Hello Braces!

Today was the big day for Luke...he got his early intervention braces! 

BEFORE

Sleepy at 6:45am

AFTER

Not very noticeable behind his lower lip

Four braces alternating pink and black (one is hiding to the left)

So as not to be redundant, I'll direct you to my recent posts (one and two) with the background on his need for braces.  But, we also wanted to share what a great experience we've had with all of our appointments at Collins Orthodontics.  We were referred by our dentist and are very grateful for the wonderful option they shared.  Luke, Brent, and I have been kept well informed throughout the process and the staff is warm, helpful, and very engaging.  Luke even got a call this afternoon following up to see how he was feeling after his first day with braces.  Oh, and Luke's picture was Posted by Collins Orthodontics on Facebook (which he was shy about when we told him, but we could tell he liked it;))

Another perk for those hometown Rochesterites, Dr. Collins is a Rochester native:)

Luke's only complaint so far is some discomfort in a bracketed molar when he bites down, but I'm sure that will subside soon.  I don't think it will interfere with any Christmas feasts or treats in the coming weeks;)
