[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar situation but with a younger kid and an expander. I am glad to hear from others who stopped treatment. Because i think that might be us too. But for those saying "try again in a few years" do you have actual experience with that? Because my understanding is there is a window of time during development when these treatments are usetul. So if you dont do it, it cant be done later. But I guess there is always something you could do later even if its not the original treatment plan.

Its so frustrating!![/quote]

Sometimes, there is no winning, isn't there? My younger brother is also on the autism spectrum and has a DEEP overbite. Unfortunately, his dental hygiene was terrible growing up, and it was a constant battle just to get him to brush his teeth. He had to go in to get cavities filled several times a year, and got a crown at 16, and it still took him until his mid twenties to get him to start brushing on his own. Because of this, no orthodontist would even take him as a patient.[/quote]
