Natalie has officially began Phase I for her orthodontic treatment. Oh yeah...thrill...Apparently the orthodontist thinks her mouth is too small. (guess he doesn't know her too well...) Her left top side needs to be pushed out to overlap her bottoms. You can see what I am talking about in the bottom image. Her top teeth center doesn't match her bottom center teeth. So, right now she will be getting an expander for her top teeth. Then in about 6 months she will receive braces on the top to move the teeth back together and get everything in alignment. Then she will go on a retainer, after the braces are removed. Hopefully with this early intervention, she will not need braces when she is older. But, you never know...
