3rd Ortho!!!

So I went to the 3rd ortho and they don't ask any down payment you just start treatment and make monthy payments. They charge $5,762.00 with monthy payments of $235.00 wich is cool but one thing they told me I didn't like is that I would need some extraction uggh I'll have braces and I'll be missing some teeth. They offered me ceramic braces at no extra cost but they told me that ceramic does stain. I don't know what to do I really want to go with Invisalign also because with Invisalign you don't get the cuts and canker sores that you get with reg braces, I dunno I need time to think what I want... Here are some pic of what my teeth look like right now!!!

Decided to fix my problem!!!

I decided it was time to fix my teeth, I scheduled a consult with 1st Dr. ( I've gone to 3) and saw him on 5/18/09 at first I was looking for Invisalign and he said I "Was" a candidate, he would shave some of my teeth to make room and that at the most it would take 24 months to finish treatment and I was really happy with what he told me but not so exited with the cost. He couted me $6,725.19 with a down payment of $2,400 And monthly payments of $186. I wouln't have a problem paying that much to fix my smile but I just couln't afford the down payment, so I decided to seek another Ortho to see If It can be more affordable since he is the premier provider for Invisalign here in Albuquerque. So I went to visit a 2nd ortho and she told me that I might need some extractions and if I did I was not candidate for Invisalign but she would need to study my case a little more, and she also told me that since my 2 front upper teeth are so crooket that Invisalign might not give me the results I want and the I woul'd have to use regular braces for a few months... so I said what's the point in having Invisalign then. Her prices were not much different from the 1st ortho only like $200 difference but she only asked for $1,600 down and here is the bad part her monthly payments are $435 so yea that's a little hard for me too, being a single mother and living on my own its not eas. But anyways at this point I decided to look into regular braces that are more affordable but horrible looking lol sorry I made a consult with a different Dr. so lets see how that goes.

Always hated my teeth!!!

Well let me start off by telling you that ever since I can remember I've always hated how my teeth look. I never smile if I do I smile with my lips closed or I cover my mouth. People usually tell me that my teeth are not bad and I don't really need braces but I hate to smile and thats never good, and usually people that tell me this have perfect teeth and don't know what's like to be self concious about your smile.
