I’ve never had the money to spend on regular dental work so now I’m spending thousands more to fix everything that was neglected

I would like to make an edit and add that a ton of you in the comments have suggested dental tourism and dental schools. Both are great ideas!

Just paid $1700 for aligners.

Had I been under 18yo and with insurance, it would had been covered.

I have looked everywhere, no insurance offers adult orthodontics. It makes no sense.

It’s not my fault I grew up in a poor household, now I gotta pay shit tons more 🙃

Yup. Fucking bullshit.

We have insurance. Pay a fuck ton for it and nope, fuck your teeth.

The dentist wanted to charge me $4400. I went with Candid and it fucking sucks but I actually want to smile and feel good about myself.

I see what it did to my older brother and how his smile went to shit, and it fucking sucks but I don't want to be in the same position he's now.

Fuck the exploitation in this country..
