  You consider braces surgery?
  Tooth removal, sure, braces?

    Surgical Orthodontics has been around for a while.

    But it’s cosmetic so we need to outlaw this, too? Because reshaping the jaw of a minor should be a crime?

      Considering the minor’s teeth are still growing (as well as the minor around them), i’d say it’s a bit stupid to mess with them, but it’ll surely fill dentists’ pockets.

      And braces don’t really require surgery so i fail to see your point.

      Anyway this is about minors’ genital mutilation, but do carry on with your whataboutisms in the void.

        This is why libertarians exist. Just people speaking so far out their ass about something they know nothing about, then demanding an armed goon squad make these delusions an executable offense.

        Literally go talk to a dentist. Or any medical professional, for that matter. And explain your profound insights, while waving a badge and a gun at them.
