About 10 years ago I could have easily afforded this treatment. Now, as a single mom on a budget and with many other priorities, the only chance I would have would be getting a big linguistic project. My son does need his braces very bad. He hates the idea but perhaps with my tax return this year i will look into it. He is alreays self-consciuous and refuses to smile in pictures. I feel very bad for him because I had the same issue for a long time. Now I don’t care that much. I am more concerned with my gums. I have periodontitis and I am under treatment but I find it difficult to keep up.

I do not know where I left my expensive periodontitis mouthwash. I am not doing well on this at all. I am not flossing regularly, I only brush my teeth two or three times a day. That is it.
I have to go to the dentist soon but is not my main priority.
I know my next visit will be at least 500 dollars (co-pay) the dentist and even worse, the assistant is going to lecture me on why I don’t follow the treatment. Braces are not an option for me, even though I am expecting some decent money soon, I would first think of getting braces for my son who needs them badly.
Oh man, I have to get a project to pay for this without having to use money that I need for my car, etc.
