braces in the news?
just out of curiousity, did anyone see that thing on TV where they said it might be worth skipping braces for kids? I was just curious what that was all about because I missed it.
They were probably saying that you shouldn't get braces for your kids just as a fashion statement. Some kids who don't need them apparently beg their parents for them "because all their friends have them."
It was a big story in the news a couple of weeks ago.

When I was a kid and really needed them for crowding and lip strain, I dodged my parents and now look. I'm paying out of pocket. I wouldn't get them even when all of my friends had braces, why would kids want them now to look cool if they don't need them? Kids now a days are a generation I will never understand.
