Same here, monthly payments were way easier on my wallet. Plus, knowing exactly what's coming out each month helped me stress less. Also, neon green case? Bold move—I went with hot pink myself 😂

I completely agree—monthly installments made it simpler for me to manage financially, too. Plus, spreading out payments allowed me to comfortably opt for ceramic braces, which were a bit pricier but less noticeable day-to-day.

I felt the same way about monthly payments. When I first started, the upfront cost made me hesitate, but breaking it down monthly made braces feel doable. Honestly, ceramic braces were a lifesaver for my confidence too—totally worth that extra bit each month!

Same here, monthly payments were a huge relief. Honestly, I remember when the orthodontist first handed me that upfront price...my stomach dropped a little, haha. But spreading it out over months made it manageable without stressing too much about other expenses. I did traditional metal braces though—ceramic sounded awesome but I figured I'd save a bit there. Funny enough, after the first couple months, I barely noticed them anyway. Confidence-wise, totally get what you're saying though. Even metal braces made me feel way better about smiling in photos again. It's cool how something like braces can change your outlook so much.

Monthly payments were a lifesaver for me too. Honestly, I debated ceramic braces for a bit, but metal braces did the job perfectly fine. At my age, I thought I'd feel awkward, but surprisingly, people barely noticed—and I felt way more confident smiling again. Totally worth it.
