Carlie's Teeth = $$

 2011 was an expensive and painful year for Carlie and her teeth.  She had 7 dentist visits in 7 months.  9 pulled teeth, a crown, and way too many cavities....she has little termites on her teeth.....aaaargh!

 Here is a picture from March 2011 showing Carlie's shark teeth (2 rows of teeth).  Her baby teeth did not want to come out!!!

 Here is a pic of her mouth after a few teeth had been pulled.

 During the summer her top teeth started having two rows.  The adult teeth in the back pushed her two front baby teeth out....she looked like a hillbilly (some day she will be mad at me for saying that)...it looked awful - You can kinda tell in the pictures above and below.

So after 4 teeth had been pulled on the bottom she had to have four teeth

 pulled from the top - poor Carlie!

Here is a recent picture where you can tell her teeth are starting to look a little more normal.  You can also see her silver crown in the back of her mouth if you look really hard (she loves that stupid silver tooth because her beloved cousin Adan has one too - she thinks it is cool and I remind her it is soooooo NOT COOL!!!)

They want us to come back this summer to start talking orthodontia.....they say she is going to be a rough case - dang it...more $$$$$!!  Hopefully, my beautiful Carlie will have a beautiful smile eventually! :)...we are getting there slowly, but surely.
