[quote=Anonymous]OP again.  The argument that the teeth are being pulled because the dentist wants the money doesn't work here.  I have a referral to take her to an oral surgeon.

I am not going to argue whether she needed the palate expander.  I had two dentists and an orthodontist tell me so.

I will get a second opinion about the teeth being pulled from the pediatric dentist and maybe the ortho in his practice.

Pulling baby teeth to me is not the same as pulling adult teeth, of which I had four pulled in addition to my wisdom teeth.  That doesn't mean that adult teeth sometimes need to be pulled too.  My teeth were impacted and would never have come in correctly, so they were removed.   The desire for functional teeth is not the same as the desire for perfect teeth.

My daughter has a crossbite.  She will unnaturally wear down her teeth without correction.  We are not taking about me getting her a nose job, boob job, or face lift.

Tell me ladies, would you date a man with a misshapen mouth and crooked, sheared down teeth?  I think no.  Appearance does matter, whether you like it or not.  [/quote]
