get braces

This is something that I’ve always wanted and needed to do.

When I was twelve, I finally got my first set of braces. The orthodontist that I went to didn’t know what he was doing. He messed up a lot of people’s teeth, left his work, and fled. It’s a very rare case, but luckily, the next orthodontist took out the braces and my teeth were back to the way they were before. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any money left on my dental plan to ever afford getting braces again.

It’s been over seven years since then. I have a pretty big gap, and it makes me really self-conscious. My husband is in the military, and I now have dental insurance. But shockingly, I don’t think the insurance will pay for much of anything. I’m in my second year of college, and I’m just about to say “enough is enough” and spend my own money on the braces. I know I would feel better about myself if I could finally afford to get this done.

hey i want to get them because i need them

I’ve had my braces for 11 months now. My teeth are much better than they used to be but I still have quite a ways to go. I’ve always had bad teeth my whole life, and I am looking forward to my beautiful new smile!

I wish I could get braces but I cant affored it and to young to get a job so my only hope is entering sweepstakes and contest for cash

I’ve always had slighty crooked front teeth, and I’ve wanted braces ever since I was little. I’m 18 now, and I’m hoping to get braces fairly soon because I’ve heard that it hurts worse the older you get.

But my entire family and my boyfriend think my teeth are fine and it’s a waste of money. I don’t think they’re fine, but everyone else seems to. I have a slight overbite and my two front teeth are definitely not in line. So, I hope to get braces soon, if only for selfish [or vain] reasons.

Well, this goal is #28 on my list because it was something I didn’t think I’d be able to afford until I was out of college and already started with my career, however, my mother entered a drawing for free braces, and WON! The only requirement is that I let them use me however they see fit for marketing purposes. You know, commercials, photos, sound drops for radio promotions, etc…
Everything is included! I’m so excited!

usually ppl get braces when theyre like 8 or 9 , im 20 and my teeths are just awful i really need braces but its very expensiveeeeeeee

im getting braces.
and they want to take out all four canine teeth
but i hear it makes your face rlly saggy.
and i think it would look weird.
like everybody has their canine teeth!
if anybody has any pictures of them without their canine teeth plz help

I’ve done this before, but when I asked the ortho in the last couple of months when I’d go back to naked teeth, and he was like “LOOOL NEXT MONTH” for 3-4 months. He never said anything like ”....you really need to wait” like I wish he did. The whole experience didn’t go the way it should have.
My overbite never got corrected, and I’m always having nightmares about my teeth moving back to right before I got braces.

Here’s a before picture, so you can see how they’ve come along =D
