Married couples w/braces, do the kids need braces too???
Posted: Mon May 01, 2006 1:20 pm
I was wondering, since I have braces and my husband also had braces in high school, will our kids need to have braces also?
Family wise, his family on his mother's side has (for a lack of words) "bad" teeth but his father's side does not. Two of his siblings had to have braces put on their teeth also.
In my family, I am the only one who has braces, but my brother has a lot of crowding and he really needs them, but cannot afford them right now. My sister wants them but she really doesn't need them as bad as my brother and I.
So I guess my question to everyone is do you or someone you know in my situation who is married and both spouses have braces, have kids who needed them too? I know the shape and form of our teeth is hereditary but I wanted to know what to expect in the future when we do decide to have children?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
