[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone ever have an orthodontist tell you that you DON'T need braces? I think it is kind of racket to a certain extent.[/quote] I'm OP, and that was my litmus test too as we considered orthodontia (which we eventually got): find an ortho who at least is able to tell folks they don't need them. I asked so many people to point me to an orthodontist who said you don't need them. (Ours said both kids didn't need them when young, but at around 12 or 13 suggested it.) I got notwhere. I went to 4 different orthodontists, all said would do them, but they did differ on how urgent they said the problem was, ranging from "just cosmetic" to "kid is headed for big problems." I did manage to find a dentist (much beloved on DCUM) who said DC didn't need them, would just be cosmetic. Somehow despite this I became convinced to do them.[/quote]
