Even though I'm not a dentist, I know the answer. It is necessary because the braces pull on the teeth causing the gums to recede which will in time need to be fixed by gum grafting. So yeah, it is appropriate. I had braces and about 5 months after I got them my gums started to recede. If she is scared, then tell her not to be, because they will numb her mouth all over. And it only feels like ten minutes when she will be in there. So I suggest go and have it done, because if not there could be more than receding gums in the future. I am a 24 year old female and I have receding gums on almost all of my teeth. I just had gum grafting done on the top right side of my mouth and my periodontist told me that if I hadn't had the procedure done I would've lost all of my teeth. The receding for me is heredity, my father had periodontist so bad that he had to have dentures at the age of 28. My daugher had gum grafting procedure when she was 10 yrs. old prior to braces. Her teeth and gums look fantastic now as a teenager but the procedure was difficult for her and she didn't follow doctors procedures as far as really taking it easy for a week after surgery and had a few complications. My advice is ask your orthodontist or periodontist if you can wait til the child is a little older. Sometimes teeth are so misaligned that they cause a trauma towards the gum, often expressed as gum recession.
If the gum recession is advanced, it is recommended to do a gum graft. This is rare for children but can still occur.

If my ex takes me to court for more child support can she also make me pay for braces for my daughters teeth?
Unless you absolutely can't afford it, then this isn't about you and your wife, but the fact your daughter needs braces and you should be OFFERING to help pay for them. Braces don't come cheap. The courts will decide on what is appropriate for Child Support and not your wife or you. If the courts feel your wife is getting enough for Child Support then that's it and you pay no more. You can also retain legal counsel and have your wife give you ALL receipts of that Child Support so you know that every cent is being spent on your daughter's upbringing and what the money is being spent on.

There's also something called Invisalign. Ask your dentist about it and see if you're eligible. Generally, it's only for people with slightly crooked teeth, though. If your teeth are actually pretty crooked, then Invisalign probably wouldn't work well for you.

If the present is age appropriate, the child can use it as desired. However, many people give cash gifts and so on with the intention that the parent or guardian will save the money for a car or education when the child needs funding.
Orthodontic Insurance?
If you have children, you should check into orthodontic insurance. Orthodontic insurance helps pay for braces and other orthodontic devices. Braces can cost you $5,000 per child, and that's just a baseline figure. With orthodontic insurance, you can get ahead of the problem and be ready when your child needs braces. It's not a good idea to wait until a child is a teeanger to try and get coverage. Children as young as five often need an orthodonitc device to help quit sucking their thumb. Sometimes orthodontists use preventative techniques which start as young as seven or eight.

Is Frenemie an appropriate movie?
Appropriate for whom, and for what purpose? Appropriate for a 10-year-old child's slumber party? Appropriate for your grandmother on her 96th birthday? Appropriate for a romantic night at home with your husband? Unless you specify what you mean by, "appropriate," this question is unanswerable and ultimately useless. The word "appropriate" does not have a universal meaning that can be tossed around without any specification. Anything can be appropriate or inappropriate, depending on the situation and on whose opinion you ask. By itself, the word "appropriate" is essentially meaningless; it needs to be qualified by a person and/or a situation: "Is this movie appropriate for my 5-year-old child?" or "Is this tie appropriate for a funeral?" or "Is this dress appropriate for me to wear at Susan's wedding?"
