Looks like the procedure they want to do would be to insert 4 plates in his top jaw. I think they would crack it open and insert them to expand the upper jaw forward. What we did not realize, is that before the surgery can be done, he must wear a full set of braces for at least 9 months and have his wisdom teeth out! We are waiting to see what insurance will cover!
Jacob too has a lot of dental work ahead of him. He has four crowns on his 6 yr old molars (the teeth came in without enamel and quickly rotted before we even realized it. So, since he has zero room for his teeth, the ortho has decided the best plan is to pull the capped teeth (since they will probably only create lots more problems, with root canals and replacing crowns) and then use the wisdom teeth as secondary molars. He also has 4 baby teeth on the bottom that have been ground down pretty low. They still have huge roots, so something weird is going on with them since the roots are not shrinking, in anticipation of loosing them. So, those for need to get pulled. By pulling 8 teeth, hopefully his teeth will start shifting and coming in.
Benjamin is officially registered for Europe June 2021. They will be going to Paris, France and Barcelona and gone about 12 days!
I love little, out of the blue, surprises! Recently I walked into the gym and one of my coaches asked me what size shoe I wore. She went on to explain that her sponsor had sent her some lifting shoes and they did not fit her and was trying to find someone that might want them! So she gifted them to me. They are used for front and back squats and it is amazing how much they help! Yay! Hopefully I can hit some new PRs (personal records). I have been doing a strength template. I took 2 weeks off because I irritated a muscle, but all better and back on track. They have an elevated stiff heel that allows better movement at the bottom of your squat.
A little late, but here is one of the pumpkins Joseph carved. Cracked me up.
