Jonathan when he was two years old. (bottom right: playing with his brace on.) The brace isn't an issue for Jonathan at all since it is all he knows. In fact one night he was tired and wanted to go to bed early, so he told us "tired - brace on..." It is just a part of his routine. Sometimes the brace will snag on something and we'll need to 'unsnag' him, but that's a small price to pay for the good the brace does.
