IM 17 && i have needed braces since i was 11 or so. I have had spacers in my teeth so i can get braces in when they fell out.Yea well those fell out like 5 years ago. My parents never bring me to a dentist. I take good care of my teeth & i know braces cost alot of money but i really need them. How do i get my parents to bring me to a dentist so i can get check out and sent to a ortho.?
We live right next door to a dentist office. Its pretty crazy how i cant even get them to call or walk over there.?

but since your 17 your almost 18, which means if you wait too long you might have to pay for them yourself.
I suggest you bring it up to your parents, and ask them to please take you to the dentist, since it is right next door, and give them your reasons why.
