I got a mouth full of bad teeth but could never afford what a dentist charges and have no idea what to do! Any ideas?

You need to find a dentist that is will to work out a payment plan with you. Your teeth are very important to you and infection in your mouth is horrible because the blood that supplies your teeth also runs throughout your entire system and the infection can run through your body. Do you know that a study was done and gum disease can cause strokes and heart attacks. If you have bad teeth, chances are you have gum disease also. Call around to see who will work with you, or take out a loan and pay the bank back.

Try to get an insurance plan and hopefully that will cover the cost of braces.
My teeth were quite bad before I had braces. I had an expander in my mouth for about 4-6 months, and braces for 2 years, 1 month. Braces are worth EVERY PENNY that you pay. I am very fortunate and I was happy to get them on. I'd rather go through 2 or 3 years of discomfort then have crooked teeth all my life.
Best of luck!

Get a second job. What ever you have to do to get them fixed nothing is more disgusting then someone with bad teeth. It can actually kill you by infecting your whole body.
