Hmm!. I know how you feel!. Before I had braces I was never talkative!. And getting braces helped me be confident with my smile [and actually smile] and be ready for pictures any time of the day!.Now, I'm probably the loudest of my friends!. Lol!. But have you thought about seeing if your insurance can pay for it!? Most people think "Oh, you can only get braces if you're rich!.!.!.blahblahblah!." When really insurance can help pay for it depending on the income of the family!. Hope everything goes well for you!. [:
Edit: I think it depends on your family's income!. Because the insurance didn't pay full for my braces because they knew my family's income and paid only a small part!. The rest is coming from my mom!. But the money is coming from the insurance and they're helping you, so I don't think you'll need to pay them back!. But I guess it's best to find out somehow to know for sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

braces are free for under 18Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can see if your parents have dental coverage for you!. If so then it will usually pay only a portion like halfof braces!. You would have to pay the other half, but they will usually put you on a monthly payment plan!. I would check out your insurance coverage and go from there!. If you really want them then do the research yourself including calling your insurance company and calling around to different orthodontists in your area to find out thier rates and if they offer free consultations!.
It sounds like your parents have a lot on thier plate right now so it would be good for you to take the inititive!.
Also if you have a low income household, in SOME states if you recieve medicaid then they will pay for braces!. First you would have to quailify for medicaid though depending on your parents income and I don't know if they even pay for them in the state of nevada!. I only know that they did in texas and new mexico because I worked for an orthodontist that took it in those two states!.
If you find that you can get them with insurance and still have to pay a small amount, perhaps you could get a job baby sitting or some other thing that is age appropriate to pay your half!. I am sure that if your parents saw that you getting braces wouldn't be a financial drain on them they would be more than happy to help you get them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
