Chad had his first set of braces when he was nine years old.

Brave boy!

It was time for his second set to be put on.

He had one more baby tooth to lose, and he lost it two hours and fifteen minutes before his appointment with the orthodontist.

Good job, Chad!

We were so thankful that in all of the illness and a snow storm we were still able to go to Chad’s appointment!

Here is a before braces shot as we got in the van to head to Chad’s appointment –

Another before shot in the waiting room of the orthodontist –

And here is Chad two hours later!

Here’s hoping in eighteen months that smile will fit better inside Chad’s mouth!

That smile is already beautiful in my eyes, though!

Happy braces day, Chad Ryan!!
