<p>How often will your S need to visit the orthodontist in Westwood? It is possible to take public transportation (bus) to Westwood, although it might take over an hour each way (due to stops) but it would take time to go and rent a Zipcar and then return it, too. If he has one day a week with fewer classes, he could schedule appts on that day and read textbooks on the bus. Not perfect, but if the Westwood Ortho will take his case, this may be the best you can get–and much cheaper than flying him back and forth out of the country!! Good luck. He’ll do great at school and his smile will be perfect in a short while.</p>
