I’m 22 (I know I’m a grown ass dude) but I have a feeling that I’d need braces due to speech impediment, like I almost talk the same way Michael Phelps does (Got narrow smile too)

But looking at the options here is costs AT LEAST $5,000 and apparently the insurance doesn’t cover these type of stuff for adults

I’m thinking about going to place like Turkey or Iran for this type of treatment as it’s much cheaper there but idk if they’ll transfer the maintenance work over to the doctors here in the states

What y’all think?

i was considering invisalign too and my logic was my teeth are already decent so it shouldnt cost as much as someone with more serious problems would

plus we're already inside mostly these days so having them on wouldnt be an inconvenience

but im pretty sure the price is somewhat regulated where i am so that logic doesnt work and i got told 5500ish so idk if its worth it just to go from good to great

UPDATE FOR YALL

Just visited my doctor this morning and had him look around for any issues thats affecting my speech. He implied that braces are not necessary as my teeth is practically straight and nothing is off about my bite

He is in the middle of referring me to a speech specialist, which they'll go down to the root causes. He also said that my crooked nose which is affecting my breathing could be causing a nasally voice too, as we use our nose to breathe when talking. So I'll look into getting a surgery for that...

I'll just need to convince my parents though, they think its unnecessary for me to get the nose surgery and my mother seems nervous about it...man I got work to do lol

For nose jobs risk getting caught by the ayatollah and go to Iran. They are pros.
