Million Dollar Smile

Sierra has wanted braces for as long

as I can remember. The dentist never

said it was a need, so I didn't ever press

for it. Sierra argued that since she was 

going into the dental field, she should

have perfect teeth. She won her dad over

with that reasoning, so off we went to

the orthodontist :)

Here is her happy before picture.

What a cutie. 

This crazy thing they put on her just

gave me the creeps. It looks like some

torture device from the Nazi days.

It didn't seem to faze her. Still got 

those happy eyes.

The beginning of the finished results.

She only got the top row done for now-

who knew she has a severe overbite

and can't get the bottom row on until that

has been fixed! I guess she really did need

these braces :) She gets to wear them

for a year and a half. She'll be 19 when they

come off.  All the other patients were 12 and

13 year olds, I guess it's better late than never.

Now for a few random Sierra/February shots-

Sierra turned 18 this month.

I'm sure this was her favorite present!

A sock monkey hat from me :)

Sierra and Stevie went to Sweethearts-

Thanks to Sophie and Tommy who set them

up with the dress and tie the night before!

This is a scrub top I made.

It was fun to do. I love time

with my machine :)

Notice her sore mouth now :)

Not so much the teeth as the insides

 of her mouth. Hope she gets 

mouth callouses real soon.

But soon she'll have that 

million dollar smile her sisters have!
