A Beautiful "New" Smile

Rylee got her braces on in January of 2010. They thought she would have to wear them for 15-18 months. She was hoping to get them off near the beginning of the summer but she hadn't been wearing her rubber bands as religiously as she should have. She had an appointment in June and her orthodontist told her if she wore the rubber bands all the time for the next 2 months she could probably get them off at her next appointment. Monday we went to her appointment and he told her he was sorry he had to tell her that she no longer needed the braces on. Rylee was ecstatic!

I have always loved her smile, but now she has this beautiful new smile just in time for school to start and just in time for cheer pictures.
