We were told earlier this year that Elias might need braces. We finally took him to a local orthodontist who confirmed this but said he would be able to complete the work in the remaining 10 months we are here in the US. We are thankful to be able to deal with the problems he has in such a short period of time. He will be wearing headgear for 12-14 hours a day from now until August. He found out today just how challenging that will be. Please be praying for him as he is really struggling to adjust to this new apparatus in his mouth most of the day.
