Collin has a tiny mouth, so the orthodontist recommended pulling 3 front teeth to make room for his two side teeth that were ready to come down. I didn't realize until after the fact that the "pointy teeth" would still have their roots! The dentist said that those usually don't come out until you are 11 and so his roots hadn't dissolved yet! Poor Collin, but it was either this or have teeth come in up in his gums! He was a trooper.

I remember having to get 4 teeth in the front of my mouth pulled too. They said I had to crowded of teeth like Collin and they removed them right before I got my braces on. Hope he's feeling better, he looks like a trooper.
