I have just the answer. If you have a Western Dental, go there and schedule a a free screening for braces. If you are a candidate for braces, and depending on the severity of your problem(s), you may qualify for FREE braces. I kid you not. I didn't qualify, but I got them anyway. I only pay $118/month, but the usual payments are only $35/month! You should check this out; you won't regret it. I hope this helps and remember to smile!
Some offices will allow you to make payments over time. And sometime colleges the provide a dentistry school have their students practice on patients and the services are provided for free. The Student are watched by a real dentist so there wouldn't be a lot to worry about.
I'd call around and find out prices and what types of financing they have.
Good LUCK!!
try dental schools..they do work for low prices because you are the test subject, so to speak. call around, get quotes for payment plans or small personal loan from the bank
Find out if there's a dental school in the area. You might get the work done cheaper by a student. Actual dentists supervise the work. It's worth checking into.
Some orthodontist offices offer so many free cases a year to low income, but do require proof of income via income tax returns, etc. You would have to check with ortho offices in your area to find out. However, some require a regular dentist to refer you for this option. Also, check with dental schools or orthodontist schools in your area to see if there are any. These are much cheaper.
