I thought about this and also just the general idea that I'm paying someone now for something they won't actually do for 18-24 months. That just bothers me somehow. If my auto mechanic asked me to pay him now for the next 2 years of service my car will need, I'd think he was nuts.

I hate debt as much as the rest of you, but even with the 5% discount, I think it is the orthodontist who is getting the better end of the deal.
