Notice anything?
These two photos were taken about an hour and a half apart this morning - do you see the difference?
Yep - the braces are off! Xavier's comment, "My teeth feel fat". Fat? I guess they just feel very exposed.
The orthodontist was so cool, if you see in the second photo, they gave him a bouquet of balloons and a baggie full of all those things he's had to eschew while he's had them on - Starburst, Skittles, bubble gum, popcorn (popcorn? he's certainly eaten his share since he's had the braces on. Oops). Isn't that cool!
Join us in our celebration tonight! Bubble gum will be served.

Getting to eat those things that he couldn't eat while having braces makes it sound kind of like an orthodontical Pascha!
Congrats Xavier!
Looks Great!! I remember that day from my childhood very fondly, I thought my teeth looked uber white and could blond people. They had been covered too long!!
That is one happy smile!! :)
YAY! what a feeling that must be!
Yeah for him! he is such a cutie pie!
(I just did a post you might enjoy mimi...maybe :)
I never had braces, so I can't quite relate, but he sure looked happy!
Thanks for all the well wishes! And, Herman, my mom made this same observation last night: kind of like an orthodontical Pascha!
Good stuff. I remember I was in the middle of rehearsals for Man of La Mancha when I got mine off...MUCH easier to sing without them!
Awesome - such a great feeling to get the braces off! I bet he enjoyed all that gum and candy too!
