$5600 could buy me a car // 2003-02-05

do you know how much braces cost? and no, i'm not just talking about the cost of humiliation, of looking like an 18-year old for two years. nor am i talking about the pain. i'm talking about the actual money.

today i found out that braces will cost me $5600. holy moly! i visited the orthodontist today and she said that yes, indeed, i have a crossbite that will only lead to wear and will probably cause fractures that will lead to crowns and oral surgery and other wonderful things. and, of course, my dental insurance pays for none of this. not one dime. excellent.
