[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I would and did.  I paid for braces for my twins.  Did them one at a time.  My daughter's case was more severe with a front tooth that was perpendicular.  I knew it bothered her and she would come home in middle school asking when she could get braces and would name classmates who'd just got them put on.  They were taken off at the beginning of her freshman year in high school and she has a beautiful smile.  Her confidence is up and she no longer holds her hand to her mouth or does not smile in pictures.  Her twin brother's teeth were almost flawless except for two crooked lower teeth.  Because his case was less complicated, he wore his for a little over a year.  The instance covered about $3,000 of the total $10,000.  I have no regrets.  I did not get braces until I was in law school.  My teeth were horrible.  I love my smile.  If it's not a financial hardship, I think you should get the braces for your kid.  I live in a major metro area where there are lots of professional jobs.  If I had messy teeth it might have impacted my career.[/quote]
