And they're off.....

After 21 months of running to the orthodontist, getting wires tightend, trading elastic colors, painful teeth, and not eating his favorite candy, the braces have finally come off. It was a very exciting day.

One last picture of the brace-face.

At Dr. Jensen's the kids have the same nurse each time they go. Colton really liked her, she was great.

The process.

Before braces

Look how pretty. Colton kept running his tongue over his teeth saying " I have pretty teeth". He hadn't even seen them yet. And they are pretty.

For being such a good boy for 21 months the orthodontist rewarded Colton with all the candy he couldn't eat while his braces were on, ie: tootsie rolls, jolly ranchers, skittles, suckers, and laffy taffy. He also received congratulation balloons.
I must say.. he is one good lookin' kid.

Wow! I'm impressed with the "braces" technology! I dont know if I've really ever seen a "before" and "after" person! Nice Teeth Coco!

PS - Niki, It's "They're off" as in "they are"... not "there off" as in "over there".
