That's how much my braces cost, and my mom is still paying for them in payments, but now we found out that I might get them off early, but they can't take them off until they are fully paid, and my mom still owes a lot of money, which is why (and she doesn't know otherwise she won't take it) I will get a job, of which I DO need, and help her pay for it. It's the least I could do, and my smile will look beautiful once these damn things come off. :smile:

<<<<<<Feeling your pain.... We have 3 more baby teeth to loose first, we have been to the orthodontist every 6 months checking on the progress of this for my daughter since the age of 6, with NO INSURANCE... Thank god her dad actually pays his child support!!!grumble

My daughter has to have them, her bottom teeth were coming in in rows and across, and also her jaw line is to small. We have a great dentist and ortho. That is one thing I said would take priority of something else is my childrens teeth. They will not walk around with a jacked up mouth, not as long as I am breathing.
