Orthodontist

Today was Faith's orthodontist's appointment. It was really easy and everyone was very friendly. From the receptionist, to the hygenist to the dentist.

We only had to wait a couple of minutes. Which I was alittle worried about the waiting area was full. But now that I think of it, it was full because there were parents and siblings waiting for the patient to come out. They had cartoons playing, and a slushy machine.

We went into the back room. She took pictures of Faith's teeth, which yes she printed out and gave to us. She also took a picture of Faith and Nathan together. How sweet. Just one look and she knew what was going to end up happening in Faith's mouth. I found out later she is actually married to the orthodontist. They have 6 kids. Then why was she saying the typical "OMG you have 4 kids" line????

So Faith needs a retainer. Which costs... can you guess??? $2200.00 Can you imagine. Of course Dustin's work has no orthodontist coverage AT ALL!!! How mad am I about that???

They have very neat designs, they can put your favorite character inside the retainer. My question is why since she can't see it anyways IT'S IN HER MOUTH!!! They do have a nice payment plan. Over the next 20 months at $110.00.

Needless to say it's going to be a while before she gets it. Closer to summer anyways. Most of the time we spent there was waiting on the dentist. Maybe next time I should bring all the kids? wouldn't that be fun???
