So many of you are aware that Chloe has a under bite. Last year our dentist brought it to our attention and suggested we see an orthodontist. We visited Dr. Kavanaugh last Spring and he suggested that we wait a year until she was older. When we saw him a few weeks ago, he recommended that it was time to correct her bite before she started to lose her baby teeth. Chloe will be wearing braces and rubber bands for the next 4-6 months. They are confident that her jaw will move into the correct position and continue to stay that way. Yay!

| Chloe was an amazing patient. She had to sit for 2 1/2 hours to get her brackets, wires, coils, bite stoppers, and rubber bands on. What a trooper! |
 |
| Her poor little lips were so stretched out. |
 |
| She picked out pink, red, and purple rubber bands. |
 |
| This is her at the end of the day. She never complained and in fact she ate lunch, went to dance class, ate dinner, rode her bike, and sat while I flossed her teeth for 10 minutes. We are so proud of our sweet Chloe. |
