It sounds a bit like dentists and orthodontists are hard up for cash in your area or that your family has genetic defects with their teeth. Far too many of these professionals will advise that you need braces even when you do not, and since parents have no clue, they do what the doctor tells them.
On a somehat related note, it makes me think of parents that are too worried about how to raise their kids properly, so they overcompensate by wasting lots of money. It's a real growth market here in America to buy loads of useless crap for kids.
