If you remember about a month ago I told you that Nick got braces : Do Braces Hurt? : Answered by a Ten Year Old. Yesterday on my very unproductive day off Nick had to go to the dentist to get his braces tightened. Each time he does this he has the option of changing the color.
If you are not able to see the colors well these are orange and blue in honor of our upcoming trip to the opening game between the Marlins and the Mets.

When I had braces, I would normally get either clear bands or silver bands. But I’d always get one random color on one tooth, like neon green. Weird…

When our daughter got her braces she had a choice between ones with elastics and another kind where they didn’t need them. It was a tough choice for her, because she wanted the fashion choice of the elastics to match her ‘events’ but those were also more work, so she chose the other!

So this is what Mr. Man was talking about…my son is getting braces after his final consult in a couple weeks. What is with kids these days? I remember when I was younger, nobody “wanted” braces. All Mr. Man talks about is how cool it’s going to be and how he’s going to get pink on his braces first. Pink? Ummm, ok. The first consult with pictures, x-rays, etc was hilarious; I could not stop laughing because they had his mouth stretched every which direction making him look like the joker off Batman…Mr. Man was real impressed that his Mother was giggling at him the entire time, let me tell you. Has Nick had any problems with a brace coming off? I’m a bit worried about this because of the extra charges for the extra visits if this happens, just getting the braces including all the visits and retainers afterwards maxed out our insurance coverage so anyhing extra is out of pocket. I swear if I see that boy with a piece of gum in his mouth, he’s a dead man. 😉

My kids LOVED changing those colors on their bands. The only one they hated was white as spaghetti sauce stained those! lol
