Second year Day 90 - Wednesday March 13, 2013

I already talked about Bridgett's tooth and the fact that one was not capped and had a build-up.  Then in January the build-up fell off.  We took her to the dentist and long story short, she got it fixed.  However, the new build-up is thicker, so her retainer doesn't fit anymore.  I talked to Dr. Stebbins today and set up an appointment to get another one next week, just the upper one of course.  Today we were in there because Stephany was having her retainer check, the first since her braces are off.  She was very excited to finally be to the point to only wear her retainer at night!  For those of you who haven't had someone in braces, you have to wear the retainer 24/7 for eight weeks following removal of your braces (unless you are eating, duh!).  For many months following the accident Bridgett didn't wear a retainer, whereas she had always worn one faithfully before the accident.  She wasn't able to get her teeth fixed until April 11th of last year, months after the accident.  Then when we got home to Montana, Dr. Stebbins got her new retainers.  Dr. Stebbins is such a great guy!  We all love him.  I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but he did braces for all of our kids but Jenn.  Anyway, after he heard about Bridgett's accident, he said he would do Stephany's braces for free!  That was just the nicest thing ever and of course Stephany was super happy.  With all of the other medical expenses, who knows when we would have been able to fit in her braces.  Big thanks to you Dr. Stebbins!
