What 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!
Oh 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!
How 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!!
He 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.
No doubt there will be many such background expressions captured as I chronicle my daughter's milestones with camera. We rarely go anywhere without it!
Yay!! 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
