You will find a way, i'm sure of it; just keep saying to yourself that you will do it.
I too was in the same situation as yourself. My parents always told me i'd lose my teeth by the time i was 40 due to my constant neglect. Then 2 years ago a 'significant other' told me to get my teeth fixed. I had it in the back of my mind constantly for over a year preparing for it. See, it had been 5 years since i'd last seen a dentist. And so I finally was mentally prepared, and that first time back in a dentist chair i cried my heart out for the first 10 minutes. That was this past february. Since then i had numerous scalings, 4 extractions to fix the crowding and now finally was healthy enough to have braces put on on the 12th.
Try not to be overly concerned with payments, money has a way of working itself out. The priority is you. Set a plan together on paper. Write down some achieveable goals. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel in mere months. Orthos usually have payment plans available, like $1400 down, $120 a month with no interest.
Do it for yourself, do it today.
au revoir,
