This past week it finally came true! After a year of lamenting about his teeth,Will got braces. It’s not that we didn’t care about his crooked teeth, it was simply a matter of timing.  We’ve made the rounds of orthodontic treatment offices over the years.  Lindsey’s treatment started when she was in 3rd grade…and continued into what seemed like Phase 32, until she was a junior in high school.  Lauren’s situation was a bit better–she had wanted to start treatment before 9th grade and we were willing to set her up–but her tight junior teeth just didn’t want to fall out.

So here we are in Pinehurst, NC; Will is a freshman and we’ve got a plan to stay with Olsen Ortho until treatment is finished. Projected end date: January 2016!
