Hi,
DD10 is about to get braces and is kind of freaking out about not being able to have caramel and popcorn for two years (food being her favorite thing in the world
I think I can talk her down from that concern by emphasizing that she will still be able to eat chocolate, etc.
But I am starting to really worry about the braces themselves for a kid who is soooo picky about clothes--she hates seams, tags, etc. and we've worked around that, but what if she freaks out about how the braces feel in her mouth?? She's also super picky about food. I remember not liking braces at all and I'm also picky about tags and seams, but not as much as her so I just wonder how it's going to go and whether there's anything at all we can do to make it go more smoothly. Her orthodontist says she's not a candidate for those Invisalign things because her teeth need too much readjustment. Has anyone BTDT with a sensitive kid?
