[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 [b] there is a window of time during development when these treatments are usetul. [/b]So if you dont do it, it cant be done later. But I guess there is always something you could do later even if it’s not the original treatment plan. Its so frustrating!![/quote] I think that’s more true of expanders and headgear than of braces. With anything to do with the palate or jaw, you want to catch them before they finish growing. But teeth can be moved with braces or aligners after growth has stopped. Best to ask your orthodontist about your particular kid’s situation, though. [/quote]
