Why do you want to do this?

I've always been self conscious about my teeth, and as a 39 year old woman I am pretty darn tired of always hiding behind my hand when I smile. I want to feel free to laugh and smile as big as I want to.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

I need to go back to my my dentist to have a deep cleaning

Help my husband find a job

Make the appointment for the consult, then get into the dentist 's office

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Being a one income family............for now

Hi Epiphany,

What a wonderful thing to finally do for yourself. It must be hard to restrain your happiness because of this. Good for you, for committing to something that is so good for your emotional wellness. Strong teeth have actually been proven to keep your heart healthy, too.

Do you know if the orthodontist provides financing? Not that you want to necessarily go into debt over it while finances are uncertain, but maybe it would be worth finding out if they have a manageable payment plan as an option.

Hi Sheal916,

The orthodontist office does have a financing program. If paid in full with no missed pmts within 18 months, there's no finanace charge. With a small down pmt from our taxes, That's the way I am going to go. Today I actually made an appt with my regular dentist for a cleaning, then I made an appt with the orthodontist for a consultation. I'm on my way! Thanks for the kind words. I am sooooo excited!
