Week 66: Almost to the Finish Line

So close and yet so far!

Aaron did such a great job with his elastics, he's only weeks away from getting his braces off! That came as a surprise to me - I was finding so many elastics all over the house, I worried that any were staying in his mouth. The braces won't be off before the start of the school year, but it won't be long after that. We've scheduled his next check up only four weeks out. 

He's already saying how strange it is not to have to remove any elastics whenever he's about to eat anything. Let's hope his good habits with elastic usage carry over to the retention phase.
