my partner needs braces and he is 30! bummer we cant afford that sorta money :-(
i know! it is sooo crapulently expensive. they do have payment options that you can do with them at (i would think) most orthodontists. (like once a month direct debit kinda stuff). and also, the cost of mine was rather astronomical because it included the need to bring the adult tooth into place (a 6+ month process with loads of fussing about and buttons and string...literally!).
