Is there any other alternatives for removable braces?

Friday, August 21st, 2009
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

Q.
I have relatively straight/level teeth all my life and never had braces however I’ve noticed over the last 3/4 years (I’m 27)that the 4 teeth on my lower jaw, between my ‘fangs’, have become twisted.
