<p>^^^^No kidding!</p>
<p>Not everyone was advised to get braces when I was growing up. My teeth looked really straight, though they were not actually perfect. I didn’t have to have them and I was very thankful. If I had been born when my daughters were, I’m sure I would have been told I needed them. Both my girls had the expanders and braces later. I don’t remember that their course was significantly long, but it did seem longer than the norm. They have beautiful teeth now.</p>
