Kayli got her braces off


Kayli got her braces off yesterday. This marks the end of “phase 1”. She will have braces put back on again in a few years for “phase 2”. In the meantime, she will have retainers to maintain the current location of her teeth. There are many advantages of having braces in two phases. One advantage is that in most cases you will not have to remove any permanent teeth later, which you often have to do when waiting to start braces when the child is older. Another advantage is that it can correct jaw problems that you can not treat once the child is older.
