son's braces..

Hi ladies. My son has a metal retainer behind his bottom teeth. Will he have to have this removed before going to bootcamp? TIA

Do they have orthodonists that he will be able to see? He hasn't left for bootcamp yet, he's a depper, but I didn't even think about his after care for his orthodontics!!!; ▶ Reply to This
