Moving to Naples, Italy. How's orthodontics there, and how are the schools?

I currently live in Naples - My wife is a training and curriculum specialist for the Child youth Program on the Naval support site, the on post schools have a poor reputation - if you can - enroll your children in the Italian school system - as for orthodontics - chances are the dental clinic will outsource such work for your dependants. It is a small base/station and does not have the facilities to handle non active duty issues. I take it you will be working at the Nato base here in Lago Patria, and I can tell you with confidence that living here is amazing, We have been here since November and I can honestly tell you I have never had a bad meal on the economy. I will warn you that there will be a culture shock, Naples is not the cleanest city, and the roads, minus the autostrade, are horrible. Also , if you have a large vehicle, I suggest you leave it in the states, and buy one on this side - the roads are crazy narrow and all have two way traffic on them. Other then that - welcome to Italy, you will have a great experience visiting some cultural sites and ruins. Do not let the on post school situation deter you - there are plenty of Italian schools that teach in English, I would say about half the American population here send there children to off post schools.

I know Col Patrick Charters has spent some good time in Naples and might have some insight here.

I had braces while there (2010-2012). The ortho at naval hospital naples is fantastic.
