braces
im 13/f and ive been waiting since i was 9 years old to get braces. my parents say there too expensive but the cheapest weve found so far was $4,220 and it doesnt get any cheaper then that. i am sooooooo self conscious about my teeth, they're crooked and NEED braces but our insurance doesnt cover it. my mom said we have to wait 2 more years, but i CANT. i just cant. i need them and i can't wait, and the older i get the more fcked my teeth are gonna get which needs more care which equals more $$. what should me and my family do?

That's not necessarily true that the longer you wait, the worse your teeth are get, since I doubt any are going to move significantly on their own.
Braces are very expensive, but if the insurance doesn't cover it, perhaps your parents could see if an orthodontist offers a payment plan? Many do and this is how most braces are afforded.

Well, i got my braces for free because my uncle is my dentist/orthodontist, BUT my parents can afford braces :]. However, for you, sometimes there are places where you can get free braces..or tell your parents to change their insurance. Many insurances cover braces :]..
Good luckk xoxox

There's nothing you can really do. Ask your parents to switch your insurance to one that covers braces. It wont cover all of the cost, but it will cover some of it. State your case to them, explain the longer that you wait to get braces the more expensive it will be, and hope they are willing to either pay for it in full or switch insurance so they won't to.
