No, Susanna, you are not the only one here to have a breastfed child end up
needing braces on their teeth.  My two teenagers both wore braces- nursed 5
years+ and three years+.  My almost 12 year old son is growing an impressive
set of fangs (eye teeth), his bottm teeth look like a train wreck- he  will
need braces too.  He weaned on his fifth birthday.  I fear my other two will
need orthodintic assistance as well.  Perahps I should have married a man
with a big mouth and a wide jaw with enough room for all the teeth one ends
up with.   My husband and I (both breastfed) both have very small mouths and
so our kids come by it naturally.  Jusy think of what a mess they would be
if they hadn't been breastfed! Nancy Sherwood LLLL, IBCLC- Perth, Australia
