Orthodontist Appointment

bunnyw79

My 10yr son had an orthodontist appointment yesterday.  We prepared him with a social story which worked really well.  He defo needs a brace as could loose teeth if the crossover bite is not sorted soon. 

When the dentist went to do the impressions my son was fine until the mould with putty in was put in his mouth. He couldn't tolerate the texture or the taste and ended up being sick. 

I would like you know if anyone has any ideas on how we get through this so he can have the impressions done.  If anyone has had similar experience.  Any thing advice / guidence would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance :)

  • Hi Thank you for replying IntenseWorld it must have been horrible for you, watching my son go through that wasn't nice and was extreamly bad for him too. My son was so dissappointed that he couldn't ge the moulds done as he had been able to do everything else which was a first for him as he would normally just shut down and refuse to do anything.

    Stranger - Thank you for replying The orthodontist is aware that he has ASD but his only response to it was to try again in a year.  But I know my son and waiting a year will make no difference to being able to tolerate the moulds/putty without help doing so until then.  I just don't know how to help him to be able to tolerate having the impressions done.
