"MARA" Means Bitter

In the Bible the word "MARA" (marah) means bitter. For the fifteen year old the word MARA also means bitter. Today she had a MARA installed in her mouth as a part of her orthodontic journey. It was a gruesome adventure...and her mouth is incredibly sore, but it's in and she's a trouper!

Actually MARA stands for "Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance". It was installed to correct her overbite. She will now endure 18 months with her MARA, and all I can say is it had better be worth it!
