After going to the dentist we have found that George has 2 impacted teeth and will need braces. To begin with he needs to wear this device or retainer. I know its a nasty shot of his mouth.
Now there is a little hole in the middle of the retainer that I had to put a "key" in and rotate it. I did that every morning and night for 3 weeks. The retainer was then spaced properly to adjust his jaw to make room for the 2 teeth to come down. He will have the retainer on for 6 months for his jaw to heal and grow bone so it stays this shape.

George will be getting braces in the beginning of August.
