How do I get my mom to take me seriously about braces?!


Question: How do I get my mom to take me seriously about braces?
I'm self-conscious about many things, and my smile is definitely one of them.
I hate smiling with my teeth because I don't like the way they look.

I've already been to the orthodontist 3 times. They took the molds of my teeth, they studied them and then they told me that I need top braces to start off. They gave my mom the paper with the costs on it and my mom said that she's going to send it to see how much insurance will cover.

My mom said that money isn't the issue. She keeps saying "I will, I will...I forgot."
My first orthodontist appointment was in April 2010. It's been a while now and I'm losing my patience.

Everybody I know are getting their braces off soon, or have already taken them off.
What do I say to her?

Answers:

just tell her you want them
i think you can go on a waiting list to get them for free
