It all started a few weeks ago when Justyn's dentist told us Justyn should see an orthodontist.  After a meeting with the orthodontist, it was confirmed Justyn's mouth needed some assistance.  So a palate expander was installed.

Sixteen days of adjustment later and that phase is all done!  Whew.  Now we leave it in there for nine months.

In a week or so Justyn goes back to the orthodontist to see if braces can be installed on Justyn's top front teeth.  These teeth have a big gap between them now.  All a result of the palate expander.

Justyn, you have given your dad a glimpse of what true courage means.  You faced the fear of the unknown, you suffered through the initial pain, and you've completed this sixteen days like a champ.  Congratulations, my son!
