[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a child with mental health issues and a parent who had three kids in braces, there is no way I would force it.  It's mostly cosmetic.  It can be done later.

And, oh, the ways she can sabotage your decision.  You can certainly try to force her, but if she doesn't cooperate, they will not put them on her.

And, if she cooperates and gets angry and/or her mental health issues flare and she backslides into anorexia again, you would only have yourself to blame -which, seriously, having been through institutionalization with mine, I would avoid this at all costs.

And, then there is all of the things they can eat that get stuck in them and cause you extra time for extra orthodontist appointments.  And, all of the things they can do to break the wires, which also causes you extra time for orthodontist appointments.

[b]Not in a million years would I force a recovering anorexic child who continues to suffer from anxiety to undergo a two year process that can be done later in life and that is mostly cosmetic.  It is just asking for trouble. [/b] [/quote]
