[quote=Anonymous]Get a few opinions.  Ours varied wildly to it was necessary to it was cosmetic.  We choose the ortho who refused to do them on my husband and I each for different and good reasons but he was about $1K more but his staff and location are well worth the extra price as they've been great.  He said my child was 100% cosmetic.  It's been about a year and they will come off in a month or two and even though the teeth looked ok, like your child, minor issues.  We decided to get it done (our child was hesitant so I went in and had them put on the same day so they couldn't say no).  We debated between invisalign and metal but the ortho said metal were better for kids as most have good intentions to brush more and don't and more risk for cavities.  He also preferred metal as he has more control over the movement and can make changes based off what he sees, not just a one time projection.  The metal surprisingly don't look terrible and he was right as brushing was an issue.  If you do, what ever you choose, bump up the cleanings to 3 times a year vs. 2 to try to prevent cavities.[/quote]
