[quote=Anonymous]Depending on how her anorexia manifested itself, I think I’d be concerned that all the rules about foods you can’t eat and things you can’t do with braces might bring up old issues. Definitely talk with the therapist before making any decisions, and pre-screen the ortho be sure they’re sensitive to the situation and willing to ease her into the process. Also, I wonder whether an ortho who specializes in adults might be better than a practice focused on young kids? It might make her feel less self-conscious to know she’s not the first person ever to have braces past the fifth grade, and they wouldn’t try to pretend that she can make them look cool “by choosing blue rubber bands!”[/quote]
