Now You Don't. However . . .

However, nothing went as planned (per my plans, anyway). I was not impressed with the orthodontic assistant's ability to use latex gloves. I was absolutely unimpressed with the retainer given to my son which included a vampire-like tooth to fill in the gap where the cleft affected the alveolus.

Thankfully, Quinn was unaware of the tacky tooth until he took a look. But then he hollered across the office, "What!? Why did they give me a grandpa tooth? And where did they get it?!"

Within minutes, we were whisked to another room where another set of impressions were taken so that a proper retainer could be created. So, we wait another week. And this is the big, wide smile we've been waiting for!
