More than Expected.

We went to the orthodontist this morning. I expected it to be another check to see if he was ready to start looking at pre-braces work. You know a consult to be followed by an appointment for all the molds and pictures and such.

We got in there the doc took a quick lookie in his mouth and we were suddenly off to a separate area for measurements, molds and pictures. Quite surprising!

They took pictures and x-rays. Then they did a wax mold of his bite. Then the molds. Oh my. First problem - breathe through your nose. Uhm sorry, not during alergy season. Second problem fitting a mold. She was trying to shove the largest dang molds in his mouth and he was getting upset. When she finally put the upper mold in she got her fingers in there too much. He was upset, twitchy and gagging. So much so he threw up. Luckily the lower one was not so traumatic. The doctor wanted one more, but was dissuaded.

Poor munchkin. On the plus side he was the politest torture victim ever. He appologized profusely. Also on the plus side it was raining, so field day was cancelled. That was a very good thing since a trip home to change was required before school which made us quite late.
