This morning, Ian got braces at the orthodontist for the second time. He has had an expander in since last month, and now has full braces, top and bottom. This should be the last round of this for him. I took him to the orthodontist this morning for a 7:20 am appointment. That was pretty early for Ian: he had to get up by 6 am.

As we drove to school, I warned him that his mouth might be sore today and he said no, but later when he came home he told me that only minutes after getting dropped off, his teeth started to ache.
A little Advil never hurt anyone.
It will make his smile even better.
