imo Julie being a parent should get atticus’ teeth sorted before it’s too late. for Ana she now needs to get herself to an orthodontist herself, just take the bull by the horns and do it. It will make such a difference to her life. Get to a hygienist Aswell it will help with the swollen gums/gum disease. Braces are not that bad I had them when I was in secondary school. They hurt for a while but you get used to it and the end result is amazing… she’ll really thank herself in the future.
