As I have mentioned before, Katie was blessed or cursed with a small mouth depending on how you want to look at it. Because of that, a week ago she had to get 6 teeth removed (was 7 but one came out on its own).

| new smile (sorta) |

| six teeth for the tooth fairy |
The next step is what is called pre-braces. These braces will consist of four braces for her top front teeth. These braces will push one of her front teeth back into the right position. She may only need them for up to 6 months and later she will get a full set of braces as well as more teeth may need to be removed.
