Not Phased!

My beautiful, confident girl!!  Not phased by her headgear!  She got used to the palettal expander pretty quickly too.  At first she couldn't eat because her teeth didn't touch so after a couple of days of buying her milkshakes we took her back and they shaved a couple teeth down and she could eat again!!  It made talking hard at first- but if you know Natalie- you know that didn't stop her!!  And I am SOOO proud of her for doing so well having the molds made (not fun) and having all that work done in her mouth.  She also had to have a rnadom tooth fixed because it fractured.  All this for a little girl with oral aversions who is sensitive because of all the feeding tubes she's had put in.  Yes, I am one proud Mama!  We are hoping this and the braces that follow will fix her underbite; which is one of the hardest things to fix.
