Braces, I remember having them well. It was sixth grade and I had a mouth full of metal, expanders and rubber bands. At one point during my treatment I even had rubber bands that crisscrossed and made an ‘X’ across the front of my mouth. Those rubber bands made it almost impossible to talk, let alone the social ramifications as a girl in middle school.
As I looked back trying to find a picture from my metal-mouthed days, I realized every picture I had I was smiling with a closed mouth. Every. Single. One. Even though all my friends had braces, I was very self-conscious of mine. Finally, after two years of toothless smiles, I was left with a gorgeous smile I was willing to flash. Behold! 
Flash forward a decade (or two) and I now have two boys of my own. Boys that are losing teeth. Boys with new adult teeth that are too big for their mouths. Boys with teeth that are coming in crooked. Boys that will need braces.
The dentist has already started laying the ground work. He already wants me to take the 10 year old to the orthodontist for an assessment. He wants to get that metal in my son’s mouth. But as a Mom, I don’t want him to be self-conscious. I don’t want my boys to be embarrassed of flashing their pearly whites. I want them to embrace their smiles.
