I was skeptical there was an Orthodontist that could do it and skeptical Tate could handle it. I found a fantastic Orthodontist who is so kind to Tate and patient and works as slowly as Tate needs him to. His assistants are as wonderful as he is. Tate was able to tolerate much more than I thought he'd be able to. Although he could not wear the retainer without gagging and spitting it out immediately, everything else went well. Phase two had to be done when a lot more of his permanent teeth were in and we put it off until he was 13. He's doing just as well again. He does hate having them but he's a trooper. I have to do the brushing if we want them clean though. Try it because your son might surprise you. Find an Orthodontist who is good with special needs kids. Not all of them are. mother of manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908483127049496177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599317265897121292.post-33844388520474452162015-10-27T11:32:23.813-05:002015-10-27T11:32:23.813-05:00I know the feeling well.

I hope he can get in a group home as an adult or something but I can't bear the thought of it. Or the thought that he won't be taken care of properly. I just have to give it to God.

My hubby is convinced our son will eventually be able to take care of himself - I'm not as convinced of that. Just found your blog yesterday and SO glad I did. How was your son when he got braces? That is another worry - my son is definitely going to need them, but the thought of them actually being able to put them on and the fear that he will be in a state of eternal meltdown over having them on has paralyzed me over it.DylansWorldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858625855697500969noreply@blogger.com
