Of course. I did this for three teen boys. Why wouldn't you?

When she was told at 12 she wouldn’t need braces she was like YES!!!! and obviously we didn’t put them on.

She didn't go from 12 to 18 overnight.

Nope. That's a gift she can give herself when she can afford it.

Generally, yes. However, if it’s something so minor that others wouldn’t notice and money is an issue, I would say no. She can always get them as an adult.

For crooked teeth, yes. If they're too far apart, or a couple are slightly out of alignment, no.

Absolutely. Straight teeth tend to boost confidence and make people more attractive, both of which make life easier. We’re lying to ourselves if we don’t think looks and confidence matter.

Does the orthodontist think it would make a difference in her appearance? Do you? If so, then I would be willing to pay for it.

absolutely. and is it reallllly all cosmetic? People with crooked teeth (even zero structural) tend to have bad breath too.

18 year old senior in high school. Orthodontist says there are zero structrual issjes with her mouth and they’d be for cosmetic purposes only but dd really wants braces for some reason.
