Are you telling me you've had your braces on for 7 years???
Why dont you call your orthodontist and ask for his opinion? Tell him your situation. Hopefully, he'll feel sorry for you for wearing those things for so long, and help you out.

Please call him, and if not him, then ask a friend to recommend you to their orthodontist. Tell the receptionist or nurse your story, and if they wont see you, keep calling doctors until you find someone who will.

Let us know what happens.
