Should we get braces for my daughter?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:How does she feel about it? Braces, in addition to being expensive, are pretty uncomfortable at times. Can you ask the orthodontist if she can get them at a later date if you do not get them now? It seems like everyone gets braces now but we didn’t used to. Some of us don’t have perfect bites and live just fine anyway.
