why do braces have to be so fucking expensive

#dont rb #ive had uh. a pretty bad overbite and overjet for 90% of my life #but braces are so insanely expensive and my family cant afford them #so im just kinda stuck with fucked up teeth #like. i really dont mind the overbite part bc it doesnt cause me any issues but the overjet causes me issues #some aspects of speaking are more difficult and uh. i am VERY self conscious about my smile #i dont mind having a bit of an overbite but just #the overjet :( it fucking sucks #overjets seem to run on my dad's side :') i got the worst genes from both sides of the family so im not surprised #also it sucks bc like. whenever i bring up the concept of braces they always talk about altering my teeth in ways i rlly dont want?? #like. i LOVE my sharp canines. i dont mind the shape of any of my other teeth really. but they always talk about filing them down or - #- changing them even if i dont want them to do it #so ive never actually gone through with any actually conversation about braces bc they want to do so much unnecessary shit #i did research and none of the changes they wanted to make were required for braces so it seems like just wanna charge us more money for - #- unnecessary and unwanted procedures #bleh. i hate dentists and orthodontists. ive had to visit one too many for consultations and almost none of them actually did any good. #except for one lady at the hospital ive gone to for dental work. she was amazing :') #also her assistant was great. i had to use laughing gas for the procedure and he played green day on the speakers while i was waiting for - #- it to kick in #its a surreal experience to be high on laughing gas while hearing american idiot playing in the background or smth #also a few months later i saw him at a concert i went to so uh. That was awkward #im rambling too much #im gonna shut up before i say anything else #delete later
