Routine expander appointment for Ava turned into something a little bigger….BRACES! The orthodontist thinks that he can help Ava's cross-bite and get her teeth lined up within a three month time frame. (One month in…and yes we're seeing changes but nothing dramatic.) Good bye expanders….and hello braces!
Somebody looks like a character from "Shaun the Sheep" (well, her mouth does!). Don't you think so too?
Check out Ava's lovely smile…she's got blue and green bands in celebration of Earth Day!

Orthodontist in China?
Yeppers! While it’s not common for the majority of the Chinese to have orthodontia it’s getting more and more common. The orthodontist does speak English – as do his assistants. His practice is in one of the western hospitals here in Tianjin.
