Our "mouthy" house...

YIKES!  We are having lots of oral issues at our house.  Costing us $$, teething tablets, tylenol and motrin!  However...we think its well worth it!!! :)

Mason is growing teeth like crazy, easily frustrated, snotty, feverish, and clingy...poor peanut!

 Shawn did a WONDERFUL job Wednesday at the orthodontist.  The herbst appliance application was painful, lengthy, and cumbersome...UGH!  Nonetheless...he did great!

The Herbst Appliance.  Designed to pull lower jaw forward and push upper jaw back.

Assuming the dental position...

Getting nervous, but hanging in there!

The barbaric looking "Herbst Appliance".

Finished!

Tiny bottom "chompers". These were no problem...

The fever inducing eye teeth...stinkers! Yes, you are right...he HATED this picture...messing with his nap time!

He looks SO BIG now that the front "chompers" are through enough to see from a distance.  :(

that thing looks terrible but I know the Dr, knows what he/she is doing. It will be so worth it.
