Genetics and a thumb habit have ensured that a nice chunk of our family funds will go toward providing Lincoln with a gleaming, straight-toothed smile. Unlike when I was a "brace-face" in middle school (late-80s), they seem to do orthodontia in phases these days so Lincoln is in Phase 1. He only has braces on his front 4 (top) teeth, which are adult teeth. These will be on for about a year and then he'll wear a retainer 'til he's about 12. At that time, he'll get a full set of braces if (when) he needs them.
He not yet 9, but he looks so much older to me with the braces on.
I’ve never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful. ~Author Unknown
