[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be torn between letting her have her way (and saving some money and a lot of effort) as all this fixation on orthodontia is just a consumerism thing, American pop culture fashion... and telling her in no uncertain terms that she couldn't get them before because she was sick and it's none of my fault, and I don't need any more drama and problems and she has to just get them, period. Maybe it's a good idea to consult with a really good specialist. [/quote] WHY are these the choices? Why must she have braces this minute or not at all? Why would you blame your child for being too sick to get braces when she was younger? The responses to this post are insane. Anorexia is an illness, not a lifestyle choice. And unless there is a medical issue, there is no imperative to get braces. Braces are a cosmetic procedure that can be performed later. Would people be insisting that OP should force her teen to get a nose job?[/quote]
