ADHD Braces Patient

We did braces for a Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) child many years ago. He always enjoyed coming to our dental practice and interacting with the staff here.

Orthodontic treatment was completed and retainers were given to him. Due to his condition, he was not able to follow our instructions on wearing his retainers. As a result of his parents enormous efforts to get him to wear his retainers, his relapse was minimal.

However, he has been obsessing about the slightly crooked teeth every time he came to our office, asking when he could have his braces put back on.

We have not seen him for quite a while but his mother came back yesterday with a toothache. While mum was getting her condition attended to, dad caught up with us. He told us that his son still wanted to have his braces but his ADHD condition has worsen and he has not been out of the home for several months.

We told his dad that we would be happy to put his braces back for him once he feels better!
