Ask,
Do the teeth presently cause pain?
Will leaving them as is present a social obstacle?
How serious is the present situation?

dentist says it's needed - that they can't floss and will cause cavities

but it's a fortune and I'm wondering if it justifies the $

I had braces and then my teeth shifted back

If a medical professional says they are a necessity, they aren’t a luxury.

Of course you can get a second opinion.

If you are in NYC, NYU dental school offers less expensive options. My brother had his braces done there. I am sure other areas also have dental schools.

Healthy teeth are a real indication of economic status as middle class and wealthy people have good teeth because they got appropriate dental care as children.

Did you continue to wear your retainer? Teeth can shift back, thats why the orthodontists recommend that retainers be worn nightly.
Depending on how bad the teeth are, yes, braces are a necessity.
