Metal Mouth, Brace Face...

...those are just a few of the names we used to call people who had braces. Well, today Brody got braces and I'm hoping no one dares to call him any of those names. Oh he is beyond thrilled with his new look. He is carrying a mirror in his pocket and strips of wax. Remember when wax was a huge part of surviving your days with braces? He chose light blue and dark blue bands for his braces which look waaaaay cool! He ended up with 6 total braces on the top teeth. Hard to believe that they will be on for a year and that when he is 12 he will have to do it all again!

So here's a funny story. The cute girl who put Brody's braces on started a movie for him. He chose Scooby Doo. During the whole process he was in "Scooby Doo Land." He didn't have a clue what was going on. So she finishes up with him, takes his head set off, takes the super large mouth opener thingy out of his mouth and sits him up in the chair. All of a sudden he starts moaning and freeeeeaaaaaking out yelling, "what is wrong with my teeth?" "What happened?" The cute tech looks at me a little startled and says to him, "Those are the braces you are feeling?" And then with a laugh she says, "Did you think you were coming in for a cleaning?" He could not figure out what had just happened. Jeremy and I were cracking up!

Does this picture frighten you? This was Brody getting prepped for the braces. Now you can see why he is getting them!

Dr. Robison is the best. Jeremy and I went to high school with him and think he is super! His office is AAAAAAmazing and so is the staff. We can't wait to see how he fixes Brody's teeth! Stop by and see him if your thinking about getting Braces. Tell him Brody sent you, he'll hook ya up!
