Q: I recently went to an orthodontist and he said i needed to have braces on my top six teeth for six months to straighten it. Now my aunt takes her kids (my cousins) to this other ortho who does all the private school kids and she thinks that he is the best...she wants me to go to him and have a second opinion on my teeth..my mom disagrees..my mom doesn't think there's enough time to have a second opinion..now i'm stuck in the middle because my mom doesn't want to me to go but my aunt keeps yelling at me because she thinks the ortho that she goes to is soo much better! My mom was planning on getting me braces on april 15..but now that my aunt has gotten in the way, she wants to have the second opinion consultation on may 19! i don't know what to do because i am stuck in the middle!!!

I suggest you tell your mother and your aunt that you don't want to wait until May 19 for a second opinion and that you want to go ahead and get your braces put on. It is not your aunts job, nor is it her place, for her to yell at you. It is your teeth, and if you feel comfortable with what your orthodontist said, then you don't need a second opinion. You need to tell your mom that you don't appreciate your aunt yelling at you and that you would like it if she talked to her. Your aunt sounds like a control freak and she needs to be put in her place.

I am a 22 year old mother of two that has had to grow up a lot faster then her years. I have been married for four years, but now am seperated from my significant other due to lack of his being able to handle a mature relationship. I can relate to almost anyone, and have been sought out, both online and off, for my advice. I answer all questions truthfully and honestly. If I don't know an answer to a question or I think other resources would be helpful, then I go into researh mode until I find an answer or the proper resource. I aspire to be a life coach in the future, because I like helping people make decisions to make their life better for their future. I am here not only to answer advice questions on this site, but to also chat with you if you feel like you need a more indepth one-on-one help.
Here are some of the guidelines I go by when answering advice questions:
- I am always truthful in any advice I give.
- I would never give anyone any advice that I would not follow myself.
- I take into consideration your feelings when answering questions, but I will not sugar coat anything. If you are wrong, then you are wrong and I will tell you so.
- If I cannot answer a question to the best of my ability, then I will point you to someone who can, or I will research my butt off until I find a helpful solution for you.
