| Help Now | This 14-year-old’s teeth are very crooked and she has been teased by kids at schA 14 year old girl is in need of braces on her teeth. She has been approved by her dentist to get these, and the family has the money to pay for the braces. But when the Orthodontist did the initial exam for the braces he discovered that she has one impacted tooth in the roof of her mouth. The Orthodontist said that a 3D cone beam scan is required to be done before the braces can be put on. She has the top bracket on but the Dr. is unable to put the wires on until the scan has been completed so they know how to proceed (whether the tooth will need to be pulled out or if it can be moved back into place). The family does not have the money needed to do the scan.Submitted by: Scott County | Prior Lake | Yes | N/A | Completed | |
