When I was younger I had braces, but regretfully I didn’t wear my retainer regularly and my wisdom teeth came in and crowded my teeth. My first question is about cost. I can never get a straight answer from an orthodontist without paying for a consult, so I would like to know how much it costs these days to get braces and what a typical payment plan looks like. The second is about pain, I remember it being very painful when I was younger and I’ve heard several people saying it is even more so when you are an adult, is this true? I would also like to know if there are any newer options. I’ve heard of invisalign, but heard it was much more expensive than braces, is that still true and how much is it these days? Are there any other options for those whose teeth aren’t mangled, but have a few on the top and bottom that are out of place and effect the persons bite? Thank you so much in advance for your help as it will be instrumental for me in deciding to take this leap.

Hello everyone. I had my braces removed when i just turned 17, and I only wore my retainer at night due to vanity, and stupidity. Now I am 20 and I regret it so much now. I currently have a small gap between my front teeth, and slightly on the sides of my front teeth. The teeth haven’t shifted dramatically in any other way though……I have an appointment with an orthodontist coming up, but I hope that I do not have to go back to braces. Anyways, is all that shifting safe for my teeth? Can I get away with a new retainer, or invisalign? i have been weraing my retainer but my mom and i think that he wasn’t all we thought he was. my bottom teeth are more crowded and the two teeth right next to the middle ones are pushing back. if i were to get invisalign what are the chances of my insurance covering most or all of the costs since my first orthodontist didn’t do a good job? |
