Tuesday: On Tuesday Betsy had to pick up Marissa from school at 11:30 to be at the Orthodontist by 11:45 to have her wires and brackets removed so the dentist could do some tooth construction.
At 12:10 Marissa had to be at the dentist. Luckily the dentist is just down the road from the Orthodontist. Marissa has a tooth called a "peg lateral". The lateral tooth came in 1/2 the size it was supposed to, probably because the canine tooth next to it was resting on it's roots, shorting out it's development. Today Marissa had to have a veneer / tooth construction done to build up that tooth to a natural tooth size. Luckily it wasn't painful and really didn't take too long. She was able to return to school around 1:30. The bad news was that the Orthodontist office is closed from 1 - 2:00 for lunch so Marissa couldn't get her wires or brackets put back on today. She said her mouth felt so funny.
Wednesday: Today I took Marissa back to the Orthodontist. It was at 2:00 so that she wouldn't miss AP Euro (lunch times were already taken). She wasn't happy with the time because she had an Algebra exam at that time. UGH! I can't win. The appointment took about an hour. She was back for the last 25 minutes of school - back for track practice.
This should be her last month in braces! She is so excited!
