Calli got her braces today. Not the usual train tracks that Jess has but removeable ones that push her bottom jaw forwards to encourage it to grow more. They seem huge and really affect her speech, as well as being really painful at the moment. She has to wear them constantly, even at night, as soon as she can although the orthodontist said it'll take a few days before she gets there. Her only time off is to eat or to clean her teeth. She's being really brave and accepting about it - I'm so proud of her. The end result will be worth it all but it must seem a long way away right now.
