How To Treat Messed Up Teeth Without A Costly Treatment Of Braces?

I need braces. My teeth are so messed up. I'm only 14 years old. I've talked to my mom so many times on getting braces, but she just can't afford them. We aren't rich. At all. We barely have money. I've been looking forward to having braces. I need them really really bad. My teeth aren't perfect. I would do so much to have braces. But the problem is I can't afford them. And I get bullied at school for my teeth being not straight.. I love school. But I can't go cause I get emotionally hurt. Please help me.

Hi! gone through your query.
You did not mention if all of your permanant teeth have errupted and if your teeth are crowded or having gaps.

Improper alignment of teeth can be due to family history,tongue thrusting, mouth breathing,thumb sucking,nail biting.

Check if you are having any of the habits mentioned above and stop the habits.
Go for a orthopantomogram (OPG) if you are having any extra number of teeth.

check with your dentist if a aligner can help you.

Lastly, trust me.. No one is perfect..love being yourself.
