I guess you're somewhere in the USA, daylia. Altho I don't do any but the simplest cases myself, there is a very good orthodontic service provided by both the hospitals and specialist practitioners just about everywhere. And ... it's free to the under 18's! Even if you're over 18, with luck and a nice smile (or better perhaps, not such a nice smile!) you may still be able to find an orthodontist who will treat you under the NHS - not free now but at considerably reduced cost.
