one who has his father's facial structure, and my husband had braces as a
child (twice). I didn't, and the two who look like me don't look like
they're going to need braces either (though the youngest is 6 so I might be
jumping to conclusions). Coincidentally the one needing braces nursed the
longest, the the oldest who definitely does not need braces nursed the
shortest. Also, the one needing braces had horrid issues with early
childhood caries, so he's just been a dental nightmare all around. ;)
