Yesterday I took Abby in for another orthodontic consultation. It sounds like she is going to get braces on her front teeth at her next appointment. While discussing what steps they would be taking, it was mentioned that she would need to wear headgear. Abby's jaw dropped and stayed down until she realized that she only had to wear it at night. She was afraid that she would have to wear it to school and that everyone would make fun of her. When the orthodontist's assistant stepped out for a second, Abby turns to me and says...
"I'm glad that I don't have to wear headgear to school. I mean, I'm not the coolest person in school, but I don't want to loose any points."
