To be honest, I am happy putting it off as long as possible, Im dreading it! He has to have a jaw expander on for 6 months, then 4 teeth out, then fixed braces for 2 years. He cried. All cos his teeth are bigger than his mouth.....bad planning eh?..lol (Patrick had to have 10 teeth out when he was 12 and braces on, so its his fault!..heee hee)
