The BEST thing to do is what most others have said - ignore it.  HOWEVER, if you feel you absolutely must say something (although I know you shouldn't), here is a response to your sister:  ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THAT ALONG TO YOUR NEPHEW?  I'm certain she would never, ever say that to your son, so yeah, she's just offering her unwanted opinions to you.  We all have at least one of those people in our families.

I know I would have laughed.  That is really funny.

Three year olds have baby teeth.  They will be replaced by secondary teeth in a few years.  There is no way to know if secondary will come in straight, crooked or whatever.  

A comment about a three year old needing braces for buck teeth is hysterical.  What?  Does someone have a crystal ball to look into the future?

I had two children who wore braces.  Their baby teeth were perfect.  Their secondary teeth were not.

You really don't need enemy's, you already have one in a relative. I'm not allowed to write on here what I would have told her, I'm sure you can guess what that is.

I would've laughed and said "ok, well - if that's something the dentist recommends in the future, I'll let you know. And since you're so concerned, I'll be happy to let my son know that you offered to pay for them".  I'm pretty sure that would put an end to it.

Tell her @crazered  you will deal with that when your grandson grows up quite 

a bit.

Tell her maybe she can start saving some money if he needs them then because

they cost a fortune then maybe you will hear click and she will hang up!

Heck, I would have said, "Why don't you give me a couple of your chins so my neck doesn't show and we'll both look better." One less holiday card and place at the Thanksgiving table, but no great loss, I suspect.

That's her opinion, so, let her have it.

Sometimes, people's comments are so trivial and insidious, they're not worth responding to.

That one only deserves an "ignore".

@crazered Ignore her, she's a pain and you already know that.

IF you need to respond in the future, just ask "Do you know that baby teeth don't need braces? Did ya, huh huh?" And then laugh like h * e * l * l !!

I find it best to ignore toxic people.

Families can cause stress.

I would ignore it because at 3 yrs old they are not usually the permanet teeth.

Orthodontist would not be adjusting a three yr old's teeth.
