I know of a program that will help save you thousands on braces. They are a health benefits program that helps you save up to 80% on your dental needs.
There is a company that offers dental benefits for only $11.95 a month for an individual and $19.95 a month for an entire household. Along with the dental you get Free vision, Free Presciption Drugs and Free Ciropractic benefits.
I would be careful though when looking into a health benefits company. A lot of them do not save you money and they have very few providers. The company I am talking about has been in business for 14yrs, BBB members and have over 1.5 million customers.
Braces cost between $4000-$6000.00 with this company it will cost you $2,250.00 for braces.
You should check them out.
Good luck,
Christy

Few insurances will pay much for braces these days.
There are payment plans available with the dentists
offices to extend payments over a period of time. If you
want the biggest discount on braces and you are in
the USA, I recommend eHealthPlus membership, they
will save you 25%-60%. Good luck

Are you covered by Medicaid? If you are young enough to be a dependent on you're parents, do they have coverage? If so, there ya go.
If not, and it is that important to you, a job after school, and they will let you pay little by little?
Some dentists have coverage a person can by that isn't high, and that is way cheaper than trying to pay for them without help.
But Medicaid would definitely be you're first best choice. If they don't have it, maybe you could call the County, or motivate them to do it.
Just thought of one thing. Unless they are deemed really necessary they might not be covered.
There are learning hospitals, they have clinic cards which might cover them.
If worst comes to worst, when you are old enough to be out of school, if you are not now, a job would probably pay for them, if you're really careful with money, or can get credit.
Credit would pay now, if you or you're parents have or could get it.
