Hi I am missing my two lateral incisors. I have had braces since January 2023 and they say I am 11 of 18 months through. I just started my elastics for an overbite about two months ago. After my braces are removed I have to get implants. I know that some universities have programs that are cheaper to get implants. I've also considered veneers or a bridge. I have guardian dental insurance through my work and I don't think I have implants coverage. What should I do?
