Yes. Braces at Six Years Old

Carson just got braces on his front 2 teeth. The teeth came in with a big space between them, and at crooked angles, so his pediatric dentist wants to get them brought together and straightened out so that the teeth next to them will have enough room to come in.


The poor kid didn't like them; and when we got home from the dentist yesterday, he pulled the wire out. He tried to pull the braces off; but didn't understand that he can't. They are glued on to stay. After a rough night, I drove him into school this morning. His buddies at school thought the braces were pretty cool, and Carson's mood has picked up considerably (thank God!). We had the wire put back on this afternoon. He's doing much, much better.
