Ian was thrilled to hear the braces would be able to come off at the beginning of the school year. True to our orthodontist's promise, Ian got his braces off on Friday, September 11th. He now has to wear a retainer (It's clear! You can't even tell he has it on) full-time, but he is thrilled to now run his tongue over his teeth and find they are smooth, smooth, smooth.
The plan is for Ian to wear the retainer for several months and then when all his adult teeth are in, we will start round 2 with the braces.
This is what Ian's teeth looked like the day he got them on:

Got to love an orthodontist who gives out a big bag of candy when you get the braces off.
The appointment wasn't even over yet and Ian was already munching away on the rice krispies treat!
5th grade is off to a fantastic start!
