Hello! My Name is Hanna

I am starting this blog for many reasons. Its for me to look back on. Its for my family so they can check up on my progress and it's for those who want to know more before they go through it. My name is Hanna, I am 24 years old, I am married and have a 10 month daughter. I live in Alaska. I have always dreamed of straight teeth and finally my dream became a reality in October 2010 I began my braces journey. At my first appointment I found out that my upper palate was too narrow and crowded and that I would need to get Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE). To my great suprise a day before my first consultation I found out I was pregnant. Since they put you under during SARPE and I was pregnant it wasn't safe and so I got my lower arch braced up and patiently awaited to have very first baby in my arms to push ahead. I am now 4 weeks away from the big day (May 9th) and boy am I nervous! I got my expander in today. I have been entertaining people in the office with my lisp all day. I will post pictures of myself so I have a comparison of me now and after surgery. I will do my best to get you all updated with post and pictures since the internet doesn't seem very rich with this sort of thing. I am off to practice swallowing my spit and maybe eating. haha.
