[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a new poster and I agree that the post braces look is weird.  Too many kids have that weird smile now. 
I say this as a parent to two kids who are getting orthodontist work[/quote]
I wonder if it’s because orthodontia is more attainable? Like, maybe there is an actual improvement to a kid with obvious crowding or other malocclusion. But then we are performing orthodontia on kids who maybe don’t actually really need it, in the process changing their entire bone and jaw structure in the process? This is the only thing I can think of. Our dentist keeps saying DD needs braces but can’t tell me exactly why, other than because one molar overlaps more than she likes, but can give no reason why braces would improve her quality of life or dental health. Am I really going to change my child’s entire jaw structure to accommodate one weird tooth when there are no issues? I’m sure some would, and I’m sure there is an orthodontist waiting in the wings to make it happen. [/quote]
