OUCH! I hated Braces on my teeth (I got them taken off, my teeth aint properly straight still but they hurt and im a baby).
LOL...

But I swear you dont give birth out your mouth! And she isnt stupid enough to get the Gas and Air thing stuck in her mouth really??? LOL

If she needs to be put under for a c section (Which is VERY RARE) it can cause problems as she needs a LOVELY tube down her throat and it can get stuck! Otherwise no... How many teenagers get pregnant nowadays... and near enough 90% have braces! Silly!!
I didnt know giving birth could effect your teeth?? LOL..
