    Why not ask your cousin where she got hers done?

    I've never heard of any Dentist that does this for free.

    We did it for CHEAP in dental school... like I'm talking 1/4 of the price... so if you can spend a bit of extra time and patience having it done by students... call your nearest dental school

    Yes, if you know someone getting it free, go where they are, I have never heard of that except where they have insurance or state coverage though low income coverage

    I've only heard of braces being done for free once in my career that I know of and it was more for medical/psychiatric reasons. Definitely ask your cousin where she got hers done or find the closest Dental School and register with them.

    You say "we" did it for cheap - you are a Dentist?

    I always see comercials on TV for cheaper braces. I think one of them was 1-800 braces, but I'm pretty sure it's only for the pennsylvania/new jersey region.
    Another number you can call is 1-800 dentist. It helps you find a dentist or orthodontist in your area based on the type of insurance you have or if you don't have insurance.
