It's not about experiencing life. It's literally science. You do not get fluorosis from one application of fluoride varnish after bracket removal. You just don't. So stop telling people to do research that you, yourself, need to do. From actual sites with actual research, conducted by people who are actual scientists. The Cochrane review is a very easy, very accessible place for you to start. Real research involves reading everything. Not just cherry picking the sites that support your personal opinions.
She didn't have ONE application, I don't know how many she had.
But the shock of seeing her mottled teeth after 2+ yrs of braces and expense. Good GRIEF.
I don't need the Cochrane studies, I first became aware of the dangers of fluoride in 1991 and I've been in the battle to end it since then. I was born and raised in this crap and a mouthful of dental work to prove it didn't help me.
The History of this STUFF is so dark, deceptive and profit driven and maybe 1/2% know of this history.

See an orthodontist to find out what can be done to straighten your teeth. Most let you pay over time, not all up front.
Yeah I did see an orthodontist for an evaluation recently and they weren't much help. The braces are at least 3000 dollars. I do not qualify for Invisalign either which bums me out. They told me to seek help from the health department and they only take care of children. I am pretty much about broke at the moment so I guess my teeth will have to wait. I still think it is so stupid that dental care is not covered on insurance because as I say your teeth are part of you and having bad teeth can affect the rest of your health. I guess they figure if you brush your teeth and floss them that is all you need to do but if you have crooked teeth what are you to do?
I guess technically my teeth are not that bad in the sense they haven't been giving me pain lately. Since using the Tom's and my mechanical flosser, they seem better and it's apparently not just me because I've been told by the guy I'm dating that my teeth look like I've been taking better care of them but I am still pretty sure I can't chew anything intense like sunflower seeds. My teeth hurt just thinking about eating those but I used to love eating them. So I know they still need work because they are not as strong as they could be.

Hilarious. In other words, don't confuse you with the facts....
I've studied this issue long and don't need probably backed CDC studies. Read the Fluoride Deception for starters....I don't think Bryson wrote the book for kicks.
It's waste that they are using...profits in and out for them.
They are not using calcium fluoride. And even so medicating us thru our waters is NOT humane. If they want to medicate people, why not anti depressants and laxatives.

That is a bummer. It looks like your choice is to try to save up the money as best you can.
Could you look for a job with dental insurance that covers orthodontia? It might have a waiting period and probably would not cover the entire cost but maybe a big chunk of it.

I'm having trouble finding a job period so... I am in the process of pursuing a work at home opportunity but it's contract work so no insurance. Dental care will probly eat up a lot of the pay check if I am even able to do it because I was having trouble with learning it at first. I have been going through personal stress atm so I want to be in the right mindset before I go back to the work at home since it is complicated work. I wasn't able to get paid yet because the site had technical issues.
But I know even if I did get a regular job I would imagine a lot of them don't cover them anyway and only cover the most basic care. Really I am not worried about insurance if the paycheck is decent enough where I can set aside money but minimum wage probably won't be enough.
I have no trust in the quackwatch folks. Too much evidence on the "F" toxicity. Quack is most likely supported by AMA folks.
Fluoride appears naturally in water. If there is too much, it causes staining of teeth. If there is too little, people get more cavities.
Adjusting the amount, by adding or removing it, reduces cavities without causing tooth staining. The proper amount is not "toxic".
The AMA has nothing to do with Quackwatch but feel to support quacks if you wish.
