Hi
Heres a question
Well, Heres the Story
My dentist refered my to the orthodontist
The first time I went, the orthodontist the took impressions and pictures and said that i would need a functional brace then traintracks.
The next time I went it said on the card it said ‘ imp. tba ‘
and she took more impressions. & said that the functional brace would be for 7-9 months.
I booked another appointment, as instructed, for two weeks later, which is this coming thursday. When at reception, the receptionist said, oh its good being in the holidays, so you have a couple of days to get used to them before going back to school.
Now on the card it says ‘fit tba’ Duration 10mins
What will she do to me now. Does that mean i will get it on thursday? ( I presume she will be fitting but my real question is – DO I GET TO TAKE THEM AWAY WITH ME?)
BEST ANSWER 10 POINTS !
thanks, Sapphire

ok, so my parents are hard working immigrants that moved to Canada and our life wasn’t always smooth through out my childhood, especially now where i really need braces and just recently entered my freshman year. My parents just called my dad’s insurance or w.e its called and they don’t cover for orthodontics, only dentist care, so now my parents can’t pay for braces. Anything that the government can do to help, or how my parents can get braces off reduced, any links, sites, phone numbers?? I have 3 other brothers and only my dad works should i should qualify for ANYTHING, and my teeth are very crooked.

Just curious. My treatment is just under 2 years total in orthodontics. It’s costing me over $11,000 for braces alone(no insurance so I’ve been paying cash). Is this typical or am I being overcharged?

Me and my mom went to the nearest Orthodontist and they said the price was about 4600$(No Taxes, No Interest, and this included X Rays and Retainers) that is before Insurance,
And i live in Canada, should i go around look for better or cheaper Orthodontist?
And he kept telling us how hes a professor himself at the local university teaching Orthodontics, and hes been in the profession for about 20 years.
Yeah just some opinions please.

I am getting braces and have questions. Do braces hurt? Do they feel weird? How much do they cost with insurance? How long will they be on if I have a overbite and a slight gap in my teeth? And say how many visits do you take to the orthodontics and does tightening your braces hurt? Also will it pay off?

Hi I need a little help with a braces situation. See my parents are divorced me and my sis live with my mom in Florida but spend summers with our dad in New York. I was just wondering if I could have my braces put on in New York but have them checked up and taken off in florida? (our insurance doesn’t cover orthodontics in florida.)

I am told I have a very simple, straight forward case. I am being quoted, in Clarksville, TN, $5100.00 for everything start to finish, including retainers once the braces are removed. The only thing seperate is 24.00 per appt. to maintain the retainers afterward. Is this a good price? Should I shop around?
I have no dental insurance that covers orthodontics (I don’t want any so please don’t pitch insurance in your answer). I know it’s difficult to give an informed answer. I know you need to be a dentist and see x-rays. I am just asking for an opinion… What do you think? Thanks!

Has anyone gotten braces recently that could tell me what it cost? I just need them on my upper teeth to close a gap, but I wanted to know about how much money I’d be in for before I went to see an orthodontist. My insurance doesn’t cover orthodontics. Thanks.
