Very important dental question?

Im almost 18 years old and i need braces really bad, my parents do not have a dental card so we cannot afford them, but i just recently moved in with my grandma to take care of her and i was wondering since i was living with her could i get a dental card or something tht would help pay for them. thanxs alot...

my family didnt have dental insurance when I got my braces. We talked to the orthodontist and they had a discount thing that they did for people without insurance. Go to a couple different doctors for a preview appointment where they look at your teeth and give you a price, see what they can do for you.

If you mean state or federal help by "dental card" , the answer is no, I have not seen one state provide orthodontics the only exception is if you have a cleft palate, then it is limited and only if needed. Sorry, I needed braces too and had to wait until I got a job with dental including orthodontics , then I saved for the down payment and got them in my mid 20's, they can do braces at any age. Just take good care of them because they will not put them on if you have cavities that are not filled.
