another new adventure

ramona grinds her teeth, and has for a looong time.  now she’s got these adult teeth, and it’s still happening. after talking and talking (and talking and talking) with her dentist, and then another dentist, it sure sounds like her grinding is related to her bite instead of anxiety, or to be specific, the way her teeth line up top-to-bottom. so guess what? braces. orthodontics. metal in her mouth. and phase one starts with an upper palate expander at age 8 before her palate fuses, or something, so....sigh.....we have plans.

glamour shots. she did not enjoy this.

the upper palate expander of ramona's near future.

and that mouth on the right? that's our future. and our expendable income.
