We are very happy because starting today, our
Dancing Queen will be wearing a special kind of Orthodontic Retainers. Seems like only yesterday when we felt anxious and worried because she had to wear a Facemask to correct her upper and lower jaw bones...
Her diligence and patience in wearing the Facemask for (an ordeal of) 16 hours
++ a day, over one year, and even taking a brief leave from school truly paid off. Praise God for this great, new development. :)
Here is a photo of our
Dancing Queen, with her new mouth appliance ---
Just like her previous Facemask, this special Orthodontic Retainers is removable, but she will have to wear it for 24 hours, most especially when sleeping at night. She may only remove it during mealtimes ---
Treatment, as advised by our Orthodontist, will last for 6 months, afterwhich another kind of intervention will take place. We praise our awesome God for all the help He has provided; physically and emotionally for our daughter, and financially for us.
If you are a new visitor to this blog, you may want to read about our journey with our daughter's Facemask starting
HERE. I'd like to encourage you too, that even if the process is difficult and long, surely with God's power, grace, and help, the race and goal will both be conquered and achieved. :)
Ah, Sovereign LORD,
you have made the heavens and the earth
by your great power and outstretched arm.
Nothing is too hard for you.
Jeremiah 32:17
