Is there any other alternatives for removable braces?

Q. My child has just had a removable brace that she should wear 24hrs a day and she is completely refusing to keep it in her mouth for more than ten minutes. Its a brace that will bring her bottom jaw and teeth forward due to faces she used to pull as a younger child. I am wondering if there is a way to have a similar brace wired inside the mouth? She is autistic so she refuses to wear it more than an average child as it is. Thank you for your time

A. Hi, this is very difficult to solve, a fixed brace wouldn’t really re-position the jaws and there is still a great deal of compliance needed from the patient. See what the Orthodontist says they might be able to come up with a solution for you.
