<human>: My husband has always had really bad teeth and really needs braces. It's not just cosmetic, the way his teeth overlap makes keeping his teeth clean much more difficult. He grew up with than basic dental services but no orthodontia. He can't do those invisilign things, he'd have to have traditional braces. When we were in school and struggling, he always talked about getting braves once we could afford it. 

Well, we are now in a great financial situation. He has a job making great money and I do pretty good too. His insurance would help with costs and he could also do one of those things where you can put money from his check into an account pre-taxed for medical expenses (I forget what it's called.) We would still be paying out of pocket some, but we can totally afford it. 

But when I brought it up he was really resistant. He said it would cost too much money and he didn't want to put us in a bad financial situation. I know we can afford it so I think he's just embarrassed to be the adult with braces. 

I'm okay with his teeth cosmetically but I know fixing them will help prevent dental procedures in the future and greatly improve his dental health. He used to want this, but now that he can have it he doesn't want it. How can I convince him it's a good idea? 

I had braces (and other complicated orthodontia) as a teen so, yes, I know that it's a long and pain in the ass rode but I think it's worth it.
