That's cool. My daughter has had hers for about 3 months on top they just put the wire on the tooth that needed to come down about 3 weeks ago. It has come down to fit in that space so good. She has expander like I did & will get bottom braces later. I have a bad overbite. Had braces for years but they wanted to break my jaw. My parents didn't have $ to finish it so I never got it done. I am afraid of dentist bc they pulled wrong teeth when I was young & all the work of the braces didn't work out for me. So I vowed to take care of my kids 1st bc I know how bad kids can treat other kids w overbite. I was made fun so horrible in school. That's one reason I left that town. My son will have to have his ovetbite worked on but not as bad as mine.
@pickles: Sorry that happened to you. Â Kids can be so ugly! Â Your kids are so lucky they have you.I grew up when braces were not as common as they are now. Â I asked for braces because my teeth were so very crowded and overlapping. Â I'm thankful my parents decided it was worth it. Â I think I would go ahead and get braces now if they had not done it. Â
