Braces
My oldest son has been undergoing treatment for about 5 years now for a Class III Malocclusion. We finally got to the "full mouth of braces" stage today and he's miserable. He's been through SO much with his mouth and jaw, and it'll still be another 2 years for this phase of treatment.
Any tried and true tips or hints to make the next few days more bearable for him? We've got the routine orthodontist instructions to follow, of course. Since he's been in treatment for so long he's used to mouth hardware, oral care and food restrictions, even so he's just a sad young man this evening.
