Braces

Nathan was asked to work the first full week of January so we took advantage of the FSA money and put Mackenzie in braces. We still had insurance and the FSA money was available on the first of January so we only had to pay $200 for braces. Amidst a job loss, I'm grateful for free money for Mackenzie's braces. She has adjusted a little slower than Alexa did but she's doing well. She's been eating applesauce and soft foods and takes her time brushing. She was nervous to get them. When we went for her appointment I thought they were only going to take molds so when she came out with her braces I was a little surprised. She looks cute and I'm excited for the changes they will bring to her bite and teeth grinding. Mackenzie is a night tooth grinder. It sounds like she is chewing on rocks so having braces and adjusting her bite will help with the wear she's been giving her teeth.
