Spacer is IN!

This was taken while holding my laptop upside down and Ben opening his mouth! It turned out pretty well, considering.

The spacer is basically a metal ring that fits around his back molar that is glued into place. Attached to the ring is a metal triangle that sits up again his canine tooth. That triangle holds the space open where his abscessed tooth was. Pretty cool.

Thank you for 'splainin'. I thought for a second there was some abuse going on. What a shot!

It looks like Ben's turning into a robot! I'm amazed that the triangle set up works for something like this.
