Guess who got a new smile today...

before

after

and he got these a few weeks ago

After 26 months Zachary got his braces removed. He was given a gift from his orthodontist - a mug full of those treats that had been forbidden. Zach also got to write on a ceiling tile for the office. How cool is that?! His "before" picture was actually taken several weeks ago - before the winter storm. He was scheduled to have his braces off, but only his bottom teeth were cleared. Zach had a pretty stubborn tooth that would not budge on top, so the top removal had to be postponed until today.

We don't ever see him wear his glasses because they are only needed for board work at school. He tells us that he does wear them there.
