Am I lying to my son about braces?
I feel like I’m lying to my son about the need for braces.
the doc says it’s necessary to improve his “bite”. but It’s not medically necessary. he has a twisted front tooth and the one side does go up a little in the front. I would say it’s more cosmetic than anything but my kid does not care about how his teeth look
i agree with him that the trend of perfectly straight teeth coupled with bleached white is so freaking weird looking it’s distracting. but that twist bothers me and I want it fixed.
he is going to be 15 soon
