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.

I want to get my 9 year old invisalign braces, are they expensive? I have blue cross/blue shield and state aid. I am a single parent and willing to work as hard as I have to to get her teeth straight and the gp in the front closed (she has her adult teeth and the gap is still huge). Are they expensive? Does insurance cover some of the cost? Do I need a referral to and orthodontist? My dentist doesn’t seem to care about my concern for my daughters teeth and my concerns regarding the spaces and crookedness. |
