Picked Up 4 Mini Maxes at Once...

hapster · February 2015

Or actually that was what I was thinking as my wife handed over the check for these...

of course once I saw this smile I forgot all about egging. Scoot only has to wear for a year or less and then she should be good. I'm thankful that we can pay for these without too much sweating about it...

And if she keeps the grades up, there may be a mini or max in her future LOL

I hear you. My mini max savings went out the door for a new set of snow skis.

Money well spent my friend. It'll ensure that the smile stays and stays. Although, it looks like today's braces are heavy on the bling factor.

@Jeepster47 probably dropped a few XL's on my mouth.

Lucky your money went to a girl. I've managed to chip, break, and knock loose a number of my expensive pearly whites.

We paid for braces x3, it's worth it as long as they follow through with retainers, etc. Kids think they're done when the braces come off and some learn the hard way how quickly that work can be undone by not following through.

Family always come first I say, good choice. Now I can't afford the Mini Max and the wife said no, but she did yes to this and it should be here today. I will let you know how it cooks soon. It's not an egg, but I couldn't pass up the price. They only had them in black right now.

Just 1 year? Must be nice.

No one had that option in my house growing up lucky mine ended up fine without.
My wife meanwhile has a stunning flawless smile, well worth the $

You are lucky my wife just had her last invisalign appointment last week. Total was right around 10 MM. Glad you are getting it done for her when she's young.

My Pop never sprung for braces when I was a kid. Said my crooked teeth came in handy. Stuck a beer bottle in my mouth and smacked me upside the back of my head. Opened 'em every time. Man I sure was glad when twist offs came along...

Thanks everyone...

We are no doubt extremely happy that it's just braces; considering where she started out, things could have been a whole lot worse than just some braces for her teeth...

Also very grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able get them for her without too much financial heartburn...

I probably needed them as a kid; but my parents picked my sister to get the needed work done since she was so bad they had to break and reset her jaw before braces just to get them right. And let's be honest; I'm already so damn good looking, adding absolutely perfect teeth to the mix would really make it unfair for the rest of you

@henapple ... Wow did the BS meter peg on that post ... now the needle is bent backwards.

You should point out that if one thinks their kids will need braces when they are older, they should have a consult when the kids are young - single digit young. We waited until our kids were older and it was harder to get their teeth straight. Our grandson had temp braces when he was six or seven and they helped straighten his teeth and reshape his jaw slightly ... final straightening will be much easier when he's ready.

In the middle of set 1. Got another to look forward to in a year or so... Oh well, what do ya do? Got to take care of the kiddos.

texaswig · February 2015

You just read the check wrong . It said grill repair. It's nice you can afford to give your kid this. I know a lot of our parents couldn't. You should be proud.
