in response to rita3...   sadly I'm in the same boat your daughter is in, except I am almost 25. everything else is the same though. I am embarrassed to smile, laugh or talk to people anymore because of the way my teeth look, and they keep getting worse. I always think that I might be pretty if I had better teeth, but what can I do about it? nothing. no one will help. I can't get on medicaid cuz I don't have kids and am over 21 and unless I want to go to the free clinic and have most of my teeth pulled, there is really nothing I can do. I hope it gets better for your daughter and you find some way to help her amidst all the greedy dentists.
