Earlier today I had my orthodontic consultation. The women I talked to before my consult were hilarious. We talked about my choice to go to mortuary school, how my eyes might need some placenta, and of course med and dental history. I met the orthodontist and told him about my horrible previous experiences and he gave me his opinion. He thinks I will be in braces for 18 months before the surgery and 6-8 months after the surgery. This is what I anticipated. He also stated that I will likely need 4 teeth extracted as well due to over crowding. Really, nothing at ortho consult was surprising to me. I did have a huge mental breakdown because I have no idea how I can pay for this. The ortho wants $1680 down and $210 a month. I am a full time student and only work part time. I cannot afford this and my fundraising site has gained no money. People have been verbally supportive, which don't get me wrong, is great but I need financial support. I am up to do almost ANYTHING to help fund my surgery and orthodontics. If anyone can donate or has suggestions please let me know. I am not sure I can handle many more nights of crying over this.
