My crooked teeth make me self conscious in everything that I do and sure they're "only a little crooked" but they feel a lot more than a little crooked now that I am grown up. I am confident that you made the right choice for Jazz, I think as a parent it's natural to second guess yourself but as a third party who has grown up as the kid who didn't get the braces - I really wish I had.
