Rylan lost his 7th tooth at school last Thursday (March 8th).
He's now lost more teeth than Carter (Carter's lost 6 but I think the braces are actually holding one in and the palette expander caused one to move back towards the roof of his mouth). Rylan also likes to pull teeth out before they are really ready. He will wriggle them compulsively and then pull on them until he gets them out.
Rylan is going to need some major orthodontal work just like Carter. He lost the bottom 4 middle teeth quite awhile ago but only 3 huge teeth have come in (that fourth one just has no room). And his top middle front teeth are huge too. We've been going to the orthodontist every 4-6 months to see if Rylan is ready to get started with an expander but he hadn't lost enough teeth. He may have finally lost enough by the next time we go in.
Gray is probably going to be the same way. His bottom baby teeth overlap (I don't remember Carter and Rylan's even doing that).
