Preparing for braces

This picture shows the second type of casts that Trent has been in. Last Wednesday, he had a doctor's appointment to measure his feet for braces. These are fairly simple. They are a couple of shoes attached to a bar. This coming Wednesday the doctor will remove this final set of casts so he can switch to the braces.

He will be in the braces for 23 out of 24 hours for three months. After that he will only have to wear them at night when he sleeps. He will have to be in braces until he is five or six years old.
