Yes, you did a great job with identifying the sentence types!
The first sentence, "Although I suspected I was wrong, I refused to admit my mistake," is indeed a complex sentence. It contains two independent clauses connected by the subordinating conjunction "although." The two independent clauses are "I suspected I was wrong" and "I refused to admit my mistake."
The second sentence, "I can no longer eat sticky foods like licorice, for I have braces now," is a compound sentence. It consists of two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "for." The two independent clauses are "I can no longer eat sticky foods like licorice" and "I have braces now."
The third sentence, "I want to give my grandma a gift for her birthday," is a simple sentence. It contains one independent clause, which is "I want to give my grandma a gift," expressing a complete thought.
