Hi Mooyore! Question for you; you had explained to me that your dentist has given you tools and showed you how to make adjustments to your braces while you are here, correct?
I want it to be understood that there could still be a problem with your braces and I would have to take you to a dentist (actually called an orthodontist ;)) for help. Your parents would need to be able to put money in your account to pay for the services.
I asked Lisa Cabadas if she knows of any other student in the program that managed their braces without the help of an orthodontist while here in the US. She said no; so I want to be sure that the plan you have with your orthodontist for you to use the tools yourself IS a good plan.
