Leah had her two permanent bottom teeth coming in way behind her baby teeth. Since her permanent teeth were so far back it wasn't causing her baby teeth to become loose.
I had a dentist in our ward look at her teeth to see what he thought.
Just as I had thought... she needed to have her teeth pulled.
Our dentist decided to pull out all four bottom teeth because her baby teeth are so small and her permanent teeth were just going to make everything more crowded.
After her x-rays he said that we should probably be saving our pennies now cause she's probably going to need braces or a retainer as soon as all four permanent teeth come in, and then she'll need them again when she's a teenager.
I've never heard of a person having braces twice, but I guess it's not uncommon.
And so the expensive dentist bills have begun...

That is so weird how far back they came in. I know how expensive braces are first hand..save your pennies, nickles, dimes, AND quarters!!
Join the club!!! I thought it was crazy when they told me London needed them and she is 7! Really, a crossbite, I didnt even know what that was....
I have two in braces. Ethan is on phase II and Bella will not have to wear head gear pretty soon but will go into phase II sometime soon, with full braces. We have just used our tax return most of the time, or made payments until the tax return comes. Ugh.
If you need an orthodontist though, ours are wonderful and you'd love them! Garn and Mason are their names. Let me know and I'll get you a referral card. (We can both win stuff. :-D) LOL
