[QUOTE="MICHL, post: 353010, member: 321"] My difficult child (almost 15) does not care about brushing or showering, yet he will inspect a partially filled bottle or cup of water that he drank earlier, and if it's not still sparkly clear in it he won't drink it.... yet he often doesn't flush, wash hands, shower, etc... without being nagged to do so.... It's extremly frustrating. When he was about 8 he had a bad underbite, so the ortho fixed that... then the ortho said he need braces... I won't do that because he doesn't floss or brush well at all, so I paid the Ortho to just fix a crossbite with an expander.. that worked until the expander was taken off, then his lower jaw continued to grow forward, and now all his teeth are pretty much butting against eachother. I've already spent about $3 or 4K. total, and.... I would still pay for braces if he showed any caring about his dental hygiene. Until I see that, it's not going to happen.
