On Thursday morning during the first orthodontic appointment, they removed Logan’s braces and the expander.  Logan’s teeth now look so straight and awesome, and his smile is even prettier.  Logan felt a little weird without all the apparatus in his mouth initially, but he said he could finally say “the” again.  In the morning, they also made an impression of the teeth to make a retainer and it was ready by the afternoon.  Logan chose a rainbow colored retainer and it was for the upper palate. They taught Logan how to put it in and remove it, and they taught us how to take care and clean it.  Logan had some trouble eating on the first night but afterward no other complaints from him.  He is doing great brushing and cleaning the retainer.  Stuart and I are very proud of how well Logan has been adapting throughout this orthodontic journey thus far.
