get braces

My teeth, the bottom ones especially, are horrible. Luckily for me its the bottom tho, the top would be way more noticeable. Before I can justify the $1k or so down, I need to get to the dentist to get my gums fixed up – either save up for it, or one of my other goals, find a way to get insurance. And if I DO, I need to not feel silly or wasteful for being vain about my teeth at the ripe old age of 34! But dental work FIRST, and hopefully I will get my state refund which the &$^$$(x%x%( NY state are holding since they decided to audit me and haven’t released my refund yet, and that will cover my down payment…
