I have a $300.00 car note, a $100.00 car insurance, $140.00 orthodontics bill, and $40.00 credit card bill. 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?

hey all, I have 3 crooked bottom teeth in the front, and 1 crooked tooth in the back row. This is because I didnt wear my bottom retainer for some time after i got my braces. The rest are straight, because they (thankfully) stayed in their place. I am going to the orthodontist to get it checked out pretty soon. should I ask her about invisalign? Does it sound like I could use it? How long do you think itw ould take just for the bottom teeth described?

I am 21, i started getting my invisalign when i was about 19 or 20, im only on my 13th one due to the fact that i had to go live in florida for a year or two to take care of my grandmother while she was sick. So therefore i havent been able to go see my ortho or get any new sets since ( it was very short notice soon as we got the call i flew down there and wasnt planned but lived there until now). my question is, will i have to pay for new sets and get measured and all of that again from the start and would you or would he still even have my sets ?everything was paid for already from the start of this by the way, just want to know what im in for when i give him a call after the holidays. Thank you

There’s this tool.. that is like a modified tweezer that orthodontists use to create a bump in a retainer/invisalign. It allows the orthodontist to have more control on where extra pressure is desired. What is this tool called? Can I order it online somewhere?

My daughter has to have some orthodontic work done (a widening appliance to widen her top jaw, then a face mask to correct her underbite), and of course, the plan I have through work covers nothing. Are there plans out there that I can sign up for that will help substantially reduce the cost of this $2,700 procedure?

I recently had a consult at an orthodontist’s office and they quoted me 5-6 g’s. I can’t afford this is anyone aware of any insurance companies that cover orthodontic work? I do not have employer coverage for any benefits.

ADRIAN,
YOU’LL ONLY HAVE THIS IF YOU STARTED WITH INVISALIGN
IF NOT,A FIXED WIRE RETAINER THAT’S INVISIBLE CAN BE PUT IN

Orthodontics Defined Orthodontics may be the specialty of dentistry that's concerned using the study and treatment of malocclusion (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic therapy can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal using the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopedics". Orthodontic therapy can be carried out for purely aesthetic reasons with regards to improving the general appearance of patients' teeth. Nevertheless, you will find orthodontists who work on reconstructing the whole face rather than focusing exclusively on teeth. Therapy is also frequently prescribed for practical reasons for example providing the patient having a functionally improved bite (occlusion).
