My parents refuse to let me start braces now because it's my final year of high school

for context, I'm 17 and on the way to doing the HSC. And the correction I'm seeking is for both functional and cosmetic reasons (3mm overjet of front few teeth, 50% overbite, deep bite, slight crowding)

They believe the pain, potential disrupted eating, and regular checkups will take time and energy off school attendance and studying.

I'm worried starting later will mean that they won't pay for it since I would legally be an adult, and it would be too late to fix these issues.

invisaglign is ruled out as an option due to the disapline needed
