My teeth are not really extremely bad but I feel like wanting to put braces on my teeth. I also get jealous every time I see my friends with their braces. I know this is not good. I just think that a girl with braces nowadays are attractive. I can hardly understand why am I thinking this way. Braces are very expensive and as much as I wanted to have it too just like many of my friends, I cannot afford. Here in the Philippines, the cost of braces is more or less P15,000 each portion of the teeth so if I want to have braces on my upper and lower teeth, it will double the price. Yes, it is very expensive for me that is why I am very much frustrated because of wanting something which I couldn't have for now. But, I will keep on believing that I will be able to achieve this goal one of these days.

That is not the problem you have to consider. Be ready for the pain after putting those braces and the regular maintenance you should have to do. Failure to follow the dentist's procedures may cause cavities so think the possibilities you will have to encounter. It will take years before you can see the results :D

hi, people who wear braces its not for a fashion statement its to correct a problem, if you have crooked teeth i would get braces to help get my teeth straight not for beauty, and if you cant afford them then start yourself a fundraiser have a bunch of your friends bake something or make something and put the money towards getting your braces. and here in the states desists have payment plans so that may be available in the Philippines.

As far as I know, you can have or put braces on your teeth when you have a problem in the alignment of teeth to ensure the correct position, dentists advises are more required regarding teeth bracing. Putting braces as a sign of being popular and gain more attention of others is not necessary because its too expensive, spending 15,000 in metal cord and plastic is too much, lot of the things you can buy from it, second is if your teeth are in the right alignment you don't need a brace. have a nice day...
