braces off!!

Jared got his braces off today!!  Wahoo!!  I wanted to take a picture SOOOO bad, but knew he wouldn't go for it, so I restrained myself.  We started at the orthodontist at 9 a.m. for the actual removal of the hardward.  Then it was off to the dentist at 11 a.m. for buildups on two teeth.  Then it was back to the orthodontist at 2 p.m. for retainer impressions. Then back again at 4 p.m. for the retainer fitting.  A long day, but so worth it!  He's excited and very happy with his "new" smile.  Just watch for the smile in future photos...
