Of course she can, why is why she says it's a minor issue.  But braces suck - they are a huge time suck for parents between the millions of appointments, the lost rubber bands, the long dental appointment to clean around them, the endless complaining from your kid, the constant reminders to wear your retainer and having to check that they actually do.  And, no matter how often you ask or remind them, rubber bands are always an emergency because even if you had enough yesterday, they are lost by today.  [/quote]

It's not  a big deal. I had two kids in braces. One knocked off about 20 brackets during the course of treatment. Yes that meant 20 extra appointments. Get over it, it's just not a big deal.[/quote]

Brackets don't reflect irresponsibility on behalf of the teen.  Sure, I will get over it, as I do pretty much every other annoying thing my teen does.  If it isn't obvious I will spell it out.  My kid wasted my time and behaved irresponsibly.  Pissed me off, as it should.   [/quote]

How do brackets not reflect irresponsibility? He fidgeted and chewed pens till brackets fell off. My kid wasted tons of time.
