The Grill

Addisyn showing the "grill" in the top of her mouth.

Addisyn had a terrible habit of sucking her finger. It started out with her thumb. I broke her of this with the thumb guard. Then she started sucking on her index finger backwards. She was starting to look very buck toothed. So, we had the dentist install "the grill". This is what her uncle Jim called it. The name stuck. It actually reminded me of a potatoe masher. A wonderful orthodontist here in town was nice enough to remove it for us. Addisyn said that "the boy" who took it out was so nice and it didn't hurt at all. She keeps saying how "weird" it feels. It had been in there since last Feb.
