[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I wish we had waited.  We were told she might not need braces again, but we'd see how her teeth came in.

Also, I'm really conflicted about whether to force the issue.  So far we've been told its cosmetic, but I'll wait and see what my orthodontist says.  Her teeth are also crowded on top and she's not good at brushing so that can be an issue.  She says she doesn't care.  But, I am afraid at 18, or 25, she'll care and it will be more difficult then and she may be stuck with the bill.  This is complicated by the fact that she's Autistic, so she has enough "difference" to contend with without having crooked teeth on top of it.  At the same time, she has enough difficultly to contend with now, I don't want to add to her plate.  It's her first year of HS next year too.

Don’t force it.  Tell her when she is ready at any age you will pay but you’d like to do it now.  [/quote]

I agree with this. There's no reason to do it now if she is so opposed to it. Let her decide when she's ready. If you are willing to pay for it now there's no reason why you can't pay for it later instead.[/quote]
