How Much Will It Cost? http://orthodonticsquestions.com/husband-and-i-want-to-build-a-house-how-much-will-it-cost/ http://orthodonticsquestions.com/husband-and-i-want-to-build-a-house-how-much-will-it-cost/#comments Sun, 03 Jan 2010 02:02:08 +0000 Orthodontics Editor http://orthodonticsquestions.com/husband-and-i-want-to-build-a-house-how-much-will-it-cost/ Okay we found a nice location for sale and we want to build our first home on it! My husband recently finished orthodontics school but worked as a dentist while he was in orthodontics school so we have some money saved up and would like to build a nice little home for us and our brand new baby! We are currently living in an apartment. Here’s what we’d like our house to be like…
1 story. 3 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms. Kitchen. Dining area. Family room and a small porch out back.
We are thinking of making it out of brick.
I would LOVE for it to be made out of stone and wood but I’m thinking that would make it cost a lot more am I right? And if so how much more?
We arent plannning on have a living room, is that a buy idea and will it make it harder to sell?
I’m just wondering what you would estimate a house like this costing? Thanks for you answers!

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?

Recently I cashed a check into my savings account for $2960.00, thinking that was help me pay off some of these bills. I just learned that the check may be a fraud. I asked the bank teller was it OK and she assured me that it was, I also called the company to check to she if the check was real. Now I owe my bank $1600.00. I’m 21 with good credit(had)… What to do?

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.

How Much Will A Replacement Cost? http://orthodonticsquestions.com/i-lost-my-retainer-how-much-will-a-replacement-cost/ http://orthodonticsquestions.com/i-lost-my-retainer-how-much-will-a-replacement-cost/#comments Sun, 19 Jul 2009 01:32:06 +0000 Orthodontics Editor http://orthodonticsquestions.com/i-lost-my-retainer-how-much-will-a-replacement-cost/ I lost my invisalign retainer at least 3 or 4 months ago and I’ve been irresponsible enough about it to not do anything until now. I still wear the upper half of my retainer which keeps my top row of teeth aligned, although my bite has significantly changed because I’m missing my lower aligner.
I want to buy a new one desperately, but I don’t have much money and what I do have I am saving up for college (which I will be attending in less than 2 months). I’m concerned because I’ve heard the cost for molds, etc will be around 300$!
My main questions are; How will my orthodontist be able to replace my lost retainer now that my teeth have moved?
and… How much will it cost?
Braces on the bottom half of my mouth would be so expensive… and my parents are definitely not willing to fix my mistakes so it’s up to me
Pity/help me!

i would like to go to a different orthodontist – (who i met with today – he told me he would accept 2000 as a payment for braces – since i already had braces before)
basically – i want to know – if i go by him – do i need to finish paying the rest of the 800 dollars to my other denist? technically – she didnt finish my teeth – so the 4000 was assuming my teeth would be done – she basically only worked on my teeth half way
(i live in michigan – if it makes a different regarding the law)
i want to call her and say ” listen screw off – im paying the 800 dollars i still owe – because technically you didnt finish my teeth – and the complete 4000 was to be paid upon completion of my teeth!”
could i get away with this?

I only want to get braces on my top teeth, and my insurance will not cover me getting braces a second time… I know that the price varies widely depending on the case and I was wondering if anyone knew of a rough estimate for minor work.

I’m also interested in how much the impressions usually cost, because I’m going to need them for new retainers.
FYI: Essix retainers are like invisalign, in that they’re retainers that are made of plastic only that fit over your teeth, rather than around, like metal and acrylic retainers.
