My Mom Will Never Believe This!

On February 7, 2018 I went to the orthodontist to have my braces installed.  Fun times.  I picked up my youngest early from school after my appointment.  Once we got home, we were playing around with Snapchat to pass the time until the older 2 kids got out of school.  Here are a couple of our favorite Snaps:

In addition to traditional metal braces, I also had an expander installed on the top arch.  Basically, my mouth was not big enough for all the teeth I had crowded in there.  Funny enough, this was my second time in an expander.

Yes, I had an expander in my teens.  This means that my mouth STILL wasn't big enough.

Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I can easily be described as a "Big Mouth".  I told my orthodontist that he needed to send my mom something in writing that my mouth was not big enough!  He got a kick out of that.  After he chuckled a moment, he explained that I may need a second expander once this one has done its job.

Once the expanding is complete, I'll have enough room for all these big (soon-to-be) beautiful teeth of mine.
