June 18

Happy 44th Anniversary to my parents!
And on a lousier note, Adrienne goes to the orthodontist today for x-rays and molds or something so she can have this expensive do-dad put in her mouth in about a month:
It's to fix her crossbite - it will widen her upper jaw so the upper teeth lay properly over the lower ones.  She has to wear it for 6-8 months, then a retainer for a year or so, then braces when she's around 12.  Which all equals a bajillion visits to the ortho.  Yippee...

That thing looks more like a torture device than orthodontics.

There is a similarity - until it gets to the right width, we will have to twist a little screw in the middle to widen it at night.
