I did not give birth to you.But you inherited my teeth.
Are you feeling blue?
I have a bad feeling,
And I rarely am wrong,
I see braces coming,
Before very long.

I don't know, she's got a ways to go before you know for sure. More teeth to grow in. The orthodontist told me to bring my kid back when she got four more adult teeth, or in six months. 18 months later, she just now has those teeth, of course after I've lost my health insurance.
Today I am taking my 9yo son to the orthodontist for the second time. He has the opposite problem. Too little space for too many teeth that need to come in. We are in the wait and watch mode and see what will need to be done. I think I will be seeing a lot of the orthodontist!
Elder daughter will be "going to the chair" in 8 hours to get the spacers put in and then the braces go on in one week. Like she told me, "You KNOW I don't have a good pain threshhold". Well, this mama don't have a high threshhold for whining. It's going to be a long 2 weeks......
When my older daughter got her braces last fall at age 8 (small mouth, large teeth), her friends crowded around her and told her how jealous they were. One strange girl even said that she puts rubber bands on her teeth to simulate how braces feel. Now about 5 other kids in her 3rd grade class have been to the orthodontist and they know that it isn't much fun. They all turn to my daughter--the one with five months of experience--for advice on what they can eat at class parties. Too funny. One fun thing, and perhaps the cause of the envy, is the colored bands. Right now my daughter has blue and red. Good luck in dealing with the inevitable whining.
Boy they do braces early these days! I didn't get mine until I was a freshman in high school and got them off in the fall of my senior year! I didn't get fun colored bands and I still remember the pain from having to wear headgear overnight! But, it was absolutely worth it in the end!
She's in good company. Some day I'll post some pictures of my pre-brace self. I think the techniquest have improved since we had them.....!
I had three sets of braces throughout the ages 9-21. I feel for her!
I almost felt sorry for you all until remembering my braces from age 16 to 19 (freshman in college!!), I think we have all suffered.
Give them at age 7, 8 or 9!! What torment we went through at age 16!!
Have fun!!
Love your blog...

Oh and what torment we go through at 27 with the braces! Enjoy these last times without little Madeline - but don't forget to thank Mom, it'll be better now than later. :)
