Stuck in the middle
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.

Maybe you should just wait for them to argue it out, and if that does not work then try to compromise with both of them, so neither of them can get hurt. If you do hurt one of them, it is not THAT big of a deal, they are both family so they wioll forgive you.

i think you should think about what YOU want... then sit both of them down and say "ive done some thinking... and i know which doctor I want... my desicion isn't based on what you guys thought... its based on what i thought... and its not to hurt anyones feelings... but i want 'so and so' to be my orthodontist".. don't let them make the desicion for you... its your teeth and you need to pick who you think is best. (if i were you... i'd just want to get braces over with... i hate my braces!)

I think you should go with your April 15th appointment. Dentists are dentists and they all know a good amount of teeth-knowledge haha. What if the other dentist tells you the same thing? Dont have your aunt make it complicated..The dentist isint gonna give you braces just for fun...your teeth need to be straight. Your aunt shouldent be yelling at you for a stupid dentist app. Anyway, good luck !
