Braces : If you have really crooked/crowded teeth, could you possibly get braces for a lesser cost ?

Question

Okay, so I've had pretty messed up teeth for a long time.

Well, since grade 4 because thats when my baby teeth wouldn't fall out, so my adult teeth came In all screwed up :|

Now my teeth are still pretty bad, Like. extremely , actually.

And Braces cost is pretty high.

My parents don't have 5,000 dollars right now.

And, I need braces more then anything.

It hurts to bite sometimes, I have a tooth that Pokes my tongue.

which hurts.

Does anyone think If I asked the orthodontist about this, They would let me get braces ?

Were not covered for dental care.

Please tell me this is possible :(

I have low self esteem too, Plus I'm going into grade Nine this year.

I don't want to be made fun of.

Does anyone know, anything about things like this ? ;o

Answer 1

sounds like you need to get a job and start saving up for braces. mow yards, do whatever you can to make cash. i know around here there are discount orthodonics but they are still expensive. but braces shouldn't be 5,000 dollars. mine sure weren't that much.

Answer 2

i'm sorry to say but braces usually cost a lot more for people with really messed up teeth than they do for people with less messed up teeth :[. but you are allowed to make monthly payments and through the course of several years, you should be able to pay it off by the time youre done with your treatment. just look around at different orthos and youre sure to find one that costs less than the other. good luck though!
