Orthodontia update

Saw the orthodontist yesterday. And, as Owen said, "it was really different then most doctors." First, we met w/ a patient representative in a room set up as an office w/ a chalkboard that said, "Welcome, Owen!" on it...seriously. We spoke w/ her for awhile and then she took Owen for x-rays and came back w/ the orthodontist. He said that Owen would need braces. (sheesh....can't imagine you need an advanced dental degree to figure that one out???) But, he wanted to have two of his baby teeth pulled out because they are coming in funny. He thought we should have that done before spring and then come back next fall. The good news is I think the tooth he wants pulled is the one that has the cavity in it. So, no filling....I'll just have the darn thing yanked. Awesome!
