New Braces! Again! Poor Ben.

This is what you get when you ask your son to smile before he goes in to get braces for the THIRD time.
 I know what you think...they look pretty straight.  Well, 6 months ago the bottom permanent retainer broke so his teeth started to go all crooked.  So for the last 3 months he's had a retainer on trying to straighten them out.  They've filed them and everything but the right side corner canine just doesn't want to cooperate.  You can see it the best in the last picture.  So bottom braces got put back on.  This poor kid has had braces on for almost half his life.  When we walked back into the Orthodontist and he saw this sign I laughed and he groaned.
 This was his x-ray in February.  Look at those wisdom teeth growing!  At 13 years old!  Shayne never even got her upper two!  He didn't need them out then.
 
 But he needs them out now!  Holy cow!
 This is the new and improved Ben.  With bottom braces and haircut.  Just in time for school to start.
Josh also got a haircut because he was getting to a Johnny Bravo phase and it was way too long for me.
