Just because of the way the cleft is, that will likely retard the development of the adult teeth... so, they may come in kinda' sideways, spread apart, extra teeth, etc.... causing the teeth next to those, and so on - to have problems as well, if she doesn't have the braces to correct them. Doc wants the teeth to have a normal alignment so that her bite doesn't cause issues with her ability to eat, chew, play, grab, etc.

The girls got real nosey this afternoon.... here are a few photos... forgive the "lack of fancy" - - I'm afraid they've been kind of neglected lately in our regular grooming routine.

The first.... Gracie, Kissy and Amelia take a peek....

In the second and third photos, Kissy looks a bit shocked by the baby.... this is the first time she's really SEEN her up close... though she's known all along that "SOMETHING" has been "among us".... hahaha...

(Kissy may be having a lil' baby or two of her own in a couple of months! )

Gracie's never REALLY seen a baby, (she couldn't have cared less when little Jethro was born 4 and a half months ago) but she just wants to kissssssssssss Emma!!
