According to the dentists he has seen, it's essential that they need to do it NOW. I don't see all that much wrong with his teeth personally. I keep reading (on homeschool boards) and hearing that dentists are pushing braces on kids earlier and earlier. Better to take care of it earlier than later is the reasoning. However, I've seen many comments from parents that their children had to go through braces again as teens. Of course the dentists will argue against this. We have avoided it simply because we don't have insurance (even it we did, it would cover very little of the overall cost) and we don't have the extra $ to even do a payment plan option each month. I am leaving it in God's hands. That's all I can do right now.<BR/><BR/>I hear you on the fuel situation too! We gave up one homeschool group activity we attended each month, partly because of fuel costs but partly because of lack of participation as well. A lot of months we would be the only family to show up and then I would fret and fume about all the gas I wasted driving there and back only to not have a meeting after all.flmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781812205765728149noreply@blogger.com
