Divorced Dad in Need of Dental Work

I am 30 years old. My whole mouth is in horrible shape. I have no confidence in myself, because I can't smile at people, I try to talk with my mouth as closed as possible, I can't laugh, not to mention I have a hard time chewing food.

I am a single man (divorced) that is afraid of trying to date because of my embarrassing teeth. I have been turned down for jobs that I was well qualified for but as soon as I opened my mouth to say something, I see a frown and it goes down hill from there. I thought that I was finally going to be able to get my teeth worked on and checked with the clear choice institute to find out it could cost more than what I make in a year.

I'm very depressed from this let down and letting down my family that was so excited for me. My daughter is 11 and loves me very much but I don't want her to be embarrassed by me either. What do I do?
