How can I afford braces?

Question: I am very self conscious of my teeth but I my parents can't afford braces for me. I am willing to work and pay for them, but I am already paying for my car and helping pay the bills. I'm only 16 so I don't make that much money anyway. . . So what can I do? My teeth need to be fixed bad but braces are just not affordable. . .

Answers:
[X] You will need to get in touch with the Health Department in your area. They usually have slots opened for need patients. If you can get a letter from the dentist as to medical need and documentation of the lack of money, the help is there. Being poor is no reason to not have medical and dental care; so don't allow it to be so.
