Brian, yes, there's a medical reason, it's not cosmetic. And your point about bone healing is just my concern. My ortho guy has put braces on people who've had rads in the past so he thinks we're ok providing we start slow and stay slow. He's doing journal research, very helpful guy, but hasn't found any info pro/con to advise him on throat cancer rads patients. I'm trying to fill in the blanks.

thx
