Newbie Here - Going to be taking the big plunge soon....!

Well there's no time like the present for an introduction, huh? ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'm nearly 31. I have been married for 9 years. I have an almost five year old daughter. I have been selling on eBay for almost 6 years and am a stay-at-home mom. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis almost 2 years ago so I have my own daily struggles (mostly with just being downright tired and some balance/walking issues). I give myself bi-daily injections that seem to have me in a disease holding pattern for the time being.
Why I'm here: Well, the dentist said that I have to go for braces or have many big problems down the road. I have a lot of crowding and one of my front teeth is almost completely hidden behind the others (not so pretty, that's for sure). I had my first ortho consult and he said I will have to have four teeth removed to make it all work. I have already had all four wisdom teeth out so I will be 8 teeth shy! Yikes.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I'm not sure when I'm going to start this process as I just don't have $4,800 in my couch cushions or under my matress and I don't think the ortho will go for payment in pop cans in 48,000,000 installments.
We're looking into my husband's medical reimbursement plan at work and hope to get underway soon (but am not sure I want to start this process before the holidays).
Anyhow...I'm here!
