Do you think you need braces or does your dentist recommend braces? If you only think you do - then you really need an opinion of a dentist. Braces are not something to be entered in to lightly. I have them and need to wear them for three years - believe me - I am not thrilled about it. If you have baby teeth yet - your teeth are still forming. You may not need braces at all. Please note that braces are really expensive. Mine cost $7500. Dental and Health Insurance DO NOT PAY for these! It is a cash only deal. Your mother may simply not have that kind of money to buy braces.
I would wait until your baby teeth are gone and your permanent teeth are fully grown in otherwise they wont be very effective when your new teeth grow in. Hopefully by then things will be better with your parents. I am really sorry to hear about your parents, its never good when they put the kids in the middle. But give it time and when you have all your permanent teeth in, then you can start considering your options. Sorry if that didn't help, i hope it works out.
I had braces too... insurance usually wont cover it and if they do, its only a small chuck, i think mine were like $1300, so its really something you want to wait on.
Do you see an orthodontist? Ask your mom if you can start seeing one. They are the ones who decide when you need braces. I had to wait for a long time after I thought I was ready, but the doctor knows best, I guess. Just start by seeing him, and that will jst about take care of everything. He will talk to your parents and tell them how your teeth are doing. Be patient, braces are overrated!
Trust me. My parents are divorced, and something very similar is going on now. Explain to your mom how he is hardly around, and you feel that you need them before school so you will have straighter teeth earlier. If they're THAT bad, then your mom should agree. Or if not, then the next time that you see/call your dad, tell him about what's going on, and see if he's financially ready for it. If he says no, tell you mother and see what goes on from there. If he says YES, then call your dentist about an appointment to see if you need them or not.
just calmy tell her that maybe shen and your dad should split the amount that it would cost to get them. Also tell her that she should be the one to talk to him about it because they will be paying for them. My friend had braces and her mom and dad where on bad terms, but they worked on trying to find a solution for her to get braces.
I hope this helps!
Domn't listen to Monkey Lips, when I got my braces on I had 3 baby teeth still in.
i know how u feel. my parents are divorced and my brother and i needed braces and its to expensive for my mom to pay cause theres two of us. so i asked my dad and he told me to get a job. i am only 14. so my mom found a way to pay for it (my grandparents helped) and so now we both have braces. i just got my braces today and i still have a few baby teeth.
i would try to talk to ur mom. then ur dad and see what he says. if he says yes, set up an appointment with than orthodontist and go from there. the process to get braces on takes awhile so don't think ur going to get them on soon. if he says no, talk to ur mom and talk to ur grandparents too.
good luck, please e-mail me and let me know what happens! if u have anymore questions also just e-mail.
My orthodontist wouldn't even see me until all of my baby teeth were gone. So you need to lose those first. Then go to your mom and just say "Dads never around and I really need braces. Can you please think about it?"
If theres any other way for you to fix your teeth asides from braces take it! I had braces for about 5 years to fix just a minor alignment problem. 5 years! and I will never put them on again
okay. well let's see. if you haven't lost all your baby teeth yet, then don't jump into braces. because sometimes when you do finally lose all your baby teeth, your adult teeth end up straightening out. so, i think you should just wait it out, and if they don't straighten out. then explain to your mom that you're really self consciencious about your teeth and that you'd really like braces
uhhh one night just sit and talk to yoUr mom about it and if she tells u to ask ur dad. just call him and ask. but if he doesn't answer, leave a message and tell him to call you back. any questions feel free to email back.
