Yeah, and now there are only two things I truly fear. Deep waters, and dentist offices.

I have only one slightly crooked tooth, and I think it adds to my charm. We were too poor for dental work anyway, so I would have needed to use some sheet metal and bailing twine if I wanted braces.

Did not need them as a kid but my teeth moved as I aged and so I had to get braces at age 40 or so.

Only six dollars, which may as well have been a year's wages for indentured servants fresh off the boat from Ireland.

No.

I was never aware I needed them.

I have a 100% overbite though.

It might be fixable with just braces but I've wanted ortho surgeries that break and reset your jaw and another one that splits the top of your mouth and spaces it because my teeth on the side curve in like )(

Yeah I needed them.

My older kid has them right now. Her teeth were pretty messed up. Too crowded so some didnt descend and one came in sideways. If I remember it was $6k. We had to pay an amount upfront and then $210 a month.

Younger one will need them too. Hers are not as crowded but there are issues. Husband has a new job with better benefits now so maybe itll cost us less out of pocket.

Yeah it depends on the company. My husbands old company, it was an additional charge on top of dental and then theyd pay $2k, but going by the amount you paid out of your paycheck, that wouldve been about $2k so the math didnt make sense. We just decided to put money into the HSA and pay the braces out of that.

New company has fucking amazing benefits and it appears it is part of dental no additional charge.

No, I considered them to close a gab on my two front teeth but their cost around 5k, so.no.

From what I remember, my dentist told my parents I could get some benefits from braces, but it wasnt essential. While we werent poor, we werent flush, so my father decided to pass.
