[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has very high anxiety (gets treatment) and she’s bull-headed. It is a tough combination![/quote] I'd bring the therapist and orthodontist into the discussion more. Find out from the orthodontist how necessary braces are, and what possible consequences of refusing treatment might be. Talk to the therapist about the possible impact of forcing her to get braces (good, bad, indifferent). As others have said, orthodontia without buy-in is not going to be helpful. (Wearing a retainer at least at night is now a lifetime proposition, according to our orthodontist.)[/quote] +1 definitely get input from the therapist.[/quote]
