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.
