[quote=Anonymous]No. It’s interesting, OP, that you described your own lack of “responsibility “ rather than your teen’s. Is she irresponsible? More irresponsible than the average kid? More irresponsible than you yourself were? I’m curious above your answers to questions like this. Still, I agree with the majority here. You, as her parent, should pay for the braces — unless the expenses put your family seriously at risk. If your daughter loses her retainer— if she gets one — I think you should pay for the 1st replacement, then discuss how you want to handle any subsequent losses. Also, as others have said, the state of her teeth will be used as a class marker. This might impact her job opportunities and even relationships going forward. [/quote]
