Well after all the shenanigans with getting our insurance coverage switched to the new company that Battelle uses, I finally made an appointment with the orthodontist for John. We went for a consult last week and the little lady was practically giddy with excitement when she saw how much work will have to go into John's mouth! Actually she is very nice and John is quite anxious to get started. He is getting kind of self-conscious about his teeth.
So Monday we will be going in for the "records" appointment. Our insurance is actually better than I had thought and they will give us a pretty good jumpstart. He has to go today to get sealants on his back teeth before they start with the ortho. She told us that he will start out the first year to year and a half with headgear to straighten a very crooked palate. His palate is over about 1/2 inch so his front top teeth are not lining up with the bottom. He has to wear headgear for about 14 hours a day. Nice thing about homeschoolong, he can wear it during the day too and the doc said it will work faster. John likes that!
I'll check with John and see if we can post pictures of this little venture.
