Maryn's orthodontia adventures started around age 9, I think. After losing her baby teeth, the adult teeth just came in super crowded and we knew she was going to need some interventions. We started phase 1 in Illinois. She had braces for a year, and then a retainer. She, of course, lost that retainer in the school cafeteria because...well, she was only a 5th or 6th grader at that point, and come on! Why do we give these little kids apparatus that cost hundreds of dollars?!? Anyway, after losing it we decided not to replace it because we knew she would be starting phase 2 soon. Sure enough, her teeth shifted and drifted and we ended up basically starting over by phase 2.
After we moved to Michigan, we found a new orthodontist and they worked out her next treatment plan. She started around Jan of 2014, and she is now DONE! She wears her retainer at night still, but FREE AT LAST!
I'd say that's a million dollar smile...literally!
