Well dollars, I come to you now with my greatest insecurity. I've only ever been to the dentist once or twice in my life. (I'm 18 now) My parents have never been able to afford dental treatment and it looks like it will be a few years until I'm fully independent from them. I've noticed that my teeth have deteriorated a significant amount in the last year and I'm not sure what I can do. I've actually had great luck with my teeth in the past, with hardly any toothaches. They are rather crooked though, and it just sucks to have this kind of problem in the American society of superhumans who coast off of their family's wealth for health and happiness.

Anyways, that's enough ranting from me, what do you guys think? I've come up blank regarding plans to fix this.

If there's decay you should visit the dentist. If you wanna fix the crooked teeth, you have to put braces. I'm not sure how much it cost at your side but its pretty expensive in my country. But of course, consulting the dentist might also be a better solution

>>2 I can't imagine the situation in a country without health care, but I don't think they can afford treatments very easily.
But if there's decay, you definetly need to go see a doctor. If they're just crooked, it might lead to difficulties but I think one can live with that. I guess your wisdom teeth are out already? Otherwise, they might cause serious trouble, thoose things are not to take lightly!
