Do you know of any cheap ways to fix buck teeth?
Move to Japan where they consider minor buck teeth cute. Some girls actually pay to separate
the teeth to get the look.
Uh, no. I can't stand living in a land of anime and apartments so small the natives
call them rabbit hutches.
You could ask the dentist to give you braces.
Out of my price range, and probably outside of my dental plan.
Retainers may or may not work. You'd have to talk to the dentist.
And consultations like that are probably free.
Especially if it is during your annual cleaning. You could also have invisalign done.
Those are clear braces.
Sort of. But they aren't as obvious as the metal ones.
But invisalign costs more than the metal braces.
There are charities that help pay medical costs.
Groups like Smile Train fix horrific malformations like cleft palate; they don't do cosmetic
stuff like this.
There's the old fallback of the dental school. You could get a discount on the braces if
you let dental students practice on you.
My teeth are annoying now. I don't want to risk them screwing up.
All of the work is supervised by a dentist - and corrected if necessary. You'll save
money by going to the dental school.
At least if I was a practice patient at a medical school, I'd get paid for it. I already
hate the dentist, and I don't want it to take even longer while the students' work is checked.
A really cheap option is living with the buck teeth and minimizing the mouth area by using
pink lipstick.
Or smiling with my lips closed.
That's why geishas have that mysterious, closed lipped smile. After putting on bright red
lipstick and white facial powder, their teeth are often orange.
OK, so there are ways to live with it or fix it.
