This is Mason on Sunday.
On Monday, he had a very exciting visit to the orthodontist.
Can you see the difference?
Thank you, Dr. Fruge, for the beautiful smile!
They gave him a bag of candy tied to balloons to celebrate!
He is a very happy boy. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great smile!! He looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteYay! I remember how awesome it felt to get my braces off. I'm so happy for him, and he has a great smile! Enjoy those teeth! :)
ReplyDeleteBoys are so much fun at that age.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute guy!
=)
That is certainly a very happy day! I remember when mine came off- it was a bit strange at first but I was so very happy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful smile!! And that candy is the perfect way to celebrate :) Tell him to wear his retainer!! I didn't because I hated it and was sick of braces... and my teeth have shifted a lot!
ReplyDeleteHappy day!
Awesome! What a great feeling it must be for him to finally get those off! I remember that feeling all too well! Fabulous smile!
ReplyDeleteI am sure he is delighted to get those braces off finally!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! We will be in that chair in a few years :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I remember this day like it was yesterday, but it was really ohhh let me count... 10 years since I got my braces off. I was SO EXCITED and afterwards, my teeth felt so BIG and slimy!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for him to have a brand new metal-free smile! He'll be showing it off a lot!
So wonderful that you documented the journey too. It's a milestone!!
Oh gosh - I know that felt good. I had way too much metal in my mouth growing up!
ReplyDeleteaw he looks so happy! I love the bokeh in the background of the first shot!
ReplyDeleteYay! He has a great welcoming smile. Funny they gave him candy haha. Gotta keep the dentist in business ;)
ReplyDeleteJust look at that beautiful smile! With the braces off, he looks even more handsome. :)
ReplyDeleteHe does look fantastic and super happy! I love even more the look on the face of the assistant while she 'patiently' waited for you to capture the moment with your camera. Made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt there will be many such background expressions captured as I chronicle my daughter's milestones with camera. We rarely go anywhere without it!
Congratulations! Beautiful smile. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah - you're such a good momma with the candy prize!! I can still remember my first meal sans braces mmmm!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Our ortho does the candy bag and balloons too...what an awesome day:)
ReplyDeleteTiffany
YAY!!! I remember that day for me. It was SO nice to finally get those braces off. I'm sure he's been counting the days.
ReplyDeletebeautiful smile .... thats the road I'm headed down in the next few years with my boy :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! I remember my sister when she had braces.. what a hassle to eat and brush each and every single space in between the braces. But all worth it in the end right? Look at his awesome smile! So.. is it retainer time? ;p
ReplyDeleteYay for gettings his braces off! And they did their job! And super double yay for candy ;)!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Goodbye braces. I love his after smile! Sensational! He looks so grown up!
ReplyDeleteoh goodness he is looking like a young adult! what a cute smile! love they give them candy, that is sweet!
ReplyDeleteOK I'm back! I finally figured out a way to sign.
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
These were just incredible Deb. Mason is the most handsome young man.
Watch out, you are in trouble.
I bet he is so happy. I had to laugh that you can tell they are orthodontists and not dentists with a giant bag of candy like that. Ha Ha.
