Braces for Owen

 We went for our appointment with the orthodontist to learn about Owen getting braces.  Boy did we get way more than we bargained for!  Not only does he need braces, but he also needs a fence to correct his tongue movement which will hopefully also help his speech and then on top of that we found out that one of his 12 year old molars is blocked by a cyst and he needs surgery to remove it.  Hopefully it will then correct itself and grow in properly.  Poor kid, seems like a lot of dental work to straighten teeth.

You can see in this xray that his front teeth and roots are pushed forward by his tongue.  This needs to be corrected.

You can also see his molar coming in crooked.

This is the fence to correct his tongue movement.
