Finance for braces?

Hello, I hope I've put this in the right place :o

Does anyone know of any finance options available for braces? I wish I hadn'r been an awkward teenager and had them done when I was meant to!

I'm now a student and my other half was made redundant, so we are on jsa at the moment, hopefully not for long. I'll be going to uni next year, so money is going to be tight for th next few years.

I'm so depressed about my smile, I can't stand doing it :( I've just lost the cap of one of my front teeth, so I've got to go and have that done asap if they will do it, I think it's classed as cosmetic now :( It has stirred the horrible feelings about my teeth again :(

Is there any help available at all? The local training university and portsmouth doesn't do them unfortunately.

I think it will cost a good £4,000 in total :eek:

Any ideas? Thank you.

  • Where do you live. Mine are costing me £1200 for both top and bottom.
    You need to shop around, ask your dentist etc..
    I don`t thing there is any finance I know that there is no insurance that will cover orthodontick treatmen. :(
  • I'm in Southampton, but I wouldn't mind travelling if it worked out cheaper :o

    I don't think I could get finance tbh, my credit rating isn't very good :o

    I'm just so fed up with hating the way my teeth look!
