My parents had 8 children and only the last one needed braces. Is it something in the food chain since the 1960's? Maybe it's evolution and their heads can no longer accommodate the cave man sized teeth. Tee hee.<br /><br />Anyway, those boys are growing with leaps and bounds. Good work!<br /><br />Zwee!!!!!!Christine LeFeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971410381637962290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884367281489444403.post-74716452962510733692010-03-16T12:14:45.278-07:002010-03-16T12:14:45.278-07:00Ahhh A spa retreat sounds wonderful!

But she wasn't very happy when the Orthodontist told her she would have to wear a retainer for many years to come! She thought once the braces were off that would be it. The woman that does my hair is in her late 30's and comes in wearing her retainers every now and then!<br /><br />I'm with you - I could use a spa retreat or at least a few days all to myself!<br /><br />ManuelaManuela@A Cultivated Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08282273791971364124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884367281489444403.post-74154759759446700532010-03-15T13:41:26.551-07:002010-03-15T13:41:26.551-07:00Oh man I did braces for two years too.
