Butterbean had to get an expander in her top jaw the other day. I have seen two things now that said todays kids have smaller jaws from the chemicals in our food and from not eating and chewing enough raw food like vegetables. I find that interesting but sad. We already had two teeth pulled out last month on her bottom jaw. Her baby teeth are not falling out so her permanent teeth are not able to come in. And in some cases the space is not big enough for the teeth to come in.
And then she got braces on her front two teeth to prevent the gap that is there now from getting bigger as the expander does it's job. Eating has been different. The first night the orthodontist told her to have soup so we made Ramen noodles. The noodles kept getting stuck all over. The next night she had chilli and it took me brushing her teeth 3 times after that to get all the bean pieces out of her expander.
