Dbat-- my DD is one of those kids, too-- she has done okay with her orthodontia...
I worry more about the retainer side of things, though-- because with THAT she can actually
do something about it. Luckily she also has an acquiantance that did just that and is now
back in braces for her senior year of high school.
The initial
pain was the bigger deal in our DD's case. HTH.
She has just reminded me that there are just 17 days until the darned things come off, however. It's not as though she hasn't complained about the process... but they can't really DO much about it. Well, there
was my DH who took his off with needlenose pliers in the garage, but I'm told that he's exceptional that way.
