My 12 year old daughter is really self conscious because her top two front teeth stick out really bad. She always says she is ugly, and she gets bullied alot at school. She gets called names like goofy and bugs bunny and she hates it. She has to get braces in 2 years but she says she cant wait that long because she is really sick of how she looks. Is there anything I could do?
Thank you for your query. I can understand your predicament. Orthodontic treatment is the right way forward, taking any other treatment will lead to unnecessary time wastage. The dental treatment will take its time, in the meanwhile just try to council her about it and let her meet other kids who have undergone such treatment and are now satisfied and confident after the treatment.
