Top only!

The big day was Wednesday for Courtney - she got braces!! For now, it's only the top ones and then next week comes the palate expander. She'll have both for a couple of months before getting her bottom braces. She has to have the top expand before putting the bottom ones on.

She did really well and thanks to Aleve - no major pain!

Here are a few pictures that I got to take (she didn't want any but...)
She is in a little bit of pain due to the wiring poking the inside of her cheek. They were putting the bands on and trimmed the wire right off.
Here's a final picture that I got...not the greatest but...

Tonight is her opening game for softball - she is really excited. She actually chose orange and black bands to match her softball and school colors. Who knows what she'll choose next time :o)!
