Braces OFF!

Yesterday Marissa got her braces taken off! Needless to say, I wasn't there to take the pictures I wanted to, but she wasn't supposed to have them actually taken off yesterday. So yesterday, Kevin took her to her "Let's Check to see if the braces are ready to come off" appointment. The orthodontist then told him they were ready to come off. So, she checked her schedule (we thought she'd be coming back in a week), and said they could take them off right then and there. So, here she is...no more metal in her mouth! We had a popcorn, gum, and fruit snack party yesterday in her honor for being such a trooper. Those were the forbidden food for braces. Now she's waiting for her retainer. She should get that on the 14th of July.... and in another year or so, they might be looking at bracing the bottom teeth.
