I am a 16 year old girl who, to put it quite frankly, has bad teeth. I wanted braces years ago, but now that I am 16 and can possibly get a job my parents are all for it. They want me to pay for the brunt of them. I haven't gone for a consultation yet, hopefully this summer and have them put on near the end of summer. My questions to you are that if my bottom teeth aren't bad, would that cut the cost down? My top teeth are pretty bad though, I have a huge gap and 1 crooked front tooth, plus they are way spacey. What is the average monthy payment if you go by a payment plan? Is interest charged?
