Free? I cannot help you. There is a credit card called Care Credit where you can get dental work done and make payments. Braces are expensive to a point but you should look at what it would cost to get implants like I have. Probably as much as a small house where I live in Ohio. Think about making an investment in your future. One gets cars and spend big bucks but investing in your smile is a gift that once your teeth are gone you cannot get that opportunity back.
Take care of your smile.

Check with the local health department as they may have dental referrals as they do here in Illinois, also check the local dental colleges as they usually do these types of things either free or drastically reduced fees. Good luck!

Well, me too, except that I am only 20.
I have found that nobody really cares about me needing braces... Which sucks. So until I can afford them, my teeth will just be messed up.
Good Luck and I hope somebody can hook you up with some probono work!

Check your area to see if they have a dental school. I do not know if they will do it for free but it could be heavily discounted because its a student that is doing the work.
Good luck!

What country do you live in? If you live in the States you might qualify for Medical, or Medicare. They might pay for it or pay part of it if your braces are medically necessary for health rather than just for the aesthetics of it.
