[tri-med] Re: orthodontics

Mike says if it is for purely cosmetic reasons we shouldn't do it.

I think you need to ask yourself if Morgan wasn't special needs would you do 
it? Technically Jesse doesn't need braces but we got them because his teeth 
will be that much better and so it will give him that much more confidence. 
Are Morgan's teeth really bad?  Jesse did experience a bit of pain having 
the extractions (4 in total and to tell you the truth I think it was the 
needles that hurt the most) and initially a bit of discomfort from the sharp 
edges but didn't complain overly much about that.  So I guess you have to 
decide if Morgan can cope with some discomfort and whether he will need 
extractions etc.  We're even thinking now that Jono needs some work too.
