Hunter sporting the mad scientist look. It's his favorite fantasy du jours.So, it's official, Hunter needs braces. He had his Ortho evaluation today and it was confirmed he has a cross bite. So next week he goes in for his casting, and then in 2 weeks from tomorrow he will be a brace face.
So the braces will only be on the top. Go figure, his bottom teeth are more crooked than a bonus collecting banker. They figure if they can correct the bite, maybe the bottom teeth will shift to where they belong. We'll see what happens 6 mos from now. Nice thing is with dual coverage, we pay nada, zero, zip. Crazy, though, I work for an insurance provider and my husband's coverage is better than my employer's. Go figure.
I asked him if I could call him tin grin... "Ummm, NO!"
I asked him if I could call him brace face... "Ummm, NO!"
I asked him if I could call him Metalica... "Ummm, NO!"
I asked him if I could call him Metal Head... and it clicked.
"Mom, does that mean I will have metal on my teeth?"
I explained to him what his teeth would look like.
"So I will be a cyborg?"
"Ummm, NO!"
"Hmmm, but with the metal I could be like a Transformer. Can you call me Star Scream?"
"Ummm, yes, of course".
"Cool!"
Aj---- "I'm jealous!"
