We invested (100% out of pocket) in braces because he had pain and grinding due to teeth not meshing correctly.
I remind him. DH reminds him. I’ve even woken him at 2am to put the darn things in.
What worked to get your kid to comply with ongoing treatment?
You don't and like me, you get braces again in your 40s

Yep. I have warned mine. We also paid out of pocket with a specialist so I warned how much they will owe us.
