Dentons in Mt Juliet: Lauren and Holly Got Braces!

Lauren and Holly Got Braces!

They were excited yesterday morning. Today, not so exciting . . . the biggest complaint is the appliance they called "turbos." The turbos are placed on the inside of the top front teeth and their purpose is to protect the bottom brackets by keeping the top teeth from closing down on the bottom brackets. And, of course, their teeth are sore. Lauren has three rubber bands connecting the top brackets to the bottom brackets on her left side. This is supposed to correct the cross-bite. But it really makes her teeth hurt and her jaw sore.
