Do not allow orthodontist telling you about two phases of getting braces and it will cost you the same as first phase. Wait until all adult teeth come in.

I've always had bad teeth, they only got worse after I developed Ulcerative Colitis. I have 5 teeth, uppers and need lowers but it's so expensive. Medical insurance should cover our teeth and eyes. And before anyone comes at me, I brushed my teeth 2 times a day and flossed as a kid. My brother barely brushed and never got a cavity. We ate and drank the same things.
