New orthodontic aligners!
2 weeks into orthodontic treatment with aligners and time to change to the next set. This is done at home - one set out, next set in. See the first couple of days impact of changing and getting used to a new set of orthodontic aligners with oral health coach LeighGS - and how she coped! -
My first electric toothbrush!
Brush-baby baby sonic brush. Mum will always brush after I've had a go as I'm not going to be able to do this properly on my own until I'm 7 or 8! 🙂
In the meantime I will do what I do best - look cute! 🙂
