Braces + 2 years = Beautiful

Back in June of 2010 Alexa got braces.  We knew it was going to be a long journey.  The poor girl had so much going on that the first time Alexa went to the dentist the dental hygienist said she had never seen so much metal and gadgets in someones mouth.  She had to have a pallet stretcher and a herbst appliance along with just the regular braces and then eventually rubber bands to finish it off.
The first day with the braces.
 And the Last.
 This same week she got contacts also.  So no braces and no glasses.  (I wouldn't let her have contacts at the same time as braces because that is just too much nagging for one mother.)
She just get's more beautiful every day - inside and out.
