And please….don’t mention America…I know there are great countries in Norway/Sweden/Denmark who have amazing social systems…just want to hear more about places who really look after the people.
EG: Did you know that Denmark has dentists in the SCHOOLS. Every child has their teeth, including orthodontics (braces) looked after the entire time they attend school….for free.

I am going to be a senior in High School and i am having second thoughts about what i want to do. I thought about Interior design for a very long time and I really do love it but I’m not sure that I want to do this the rest of my life. I haven’t taken a lot of math and science courses in High School so it’s too late to start now. Can you give me advice?? Here are my interests:

I am a junior in high school and I currently have and am hoping to maintain a 4.0 GPA. After high school I am planning on going to the University of Michigan (maybe not for undergrad) and studying orthodontics as my major and business as my minor. Hopefully after college i will open my own practice and be a successful orthodontist. How does this plan sound? Any suggestion? Any surprises i should look out for? Etc?

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?

I am looking to buy insurance and I need my wisdom teeth out. What is that called?? I want to get insurance that will pay pretty well for that service, but I do not know what “type” of service that is.
There is Endodontics, Periodontics, Orthodontics (don’ think it is that one)…
Some Insurance plans pay more for 1 type than another, so which “kind” of dental work is that? Thanks

well sadly iv had on braces for over 6 years basically ripped off by my orthodontists i arranged to get them off because they were planning to keep them on EVEN LONGER!!!!!! evry time i went for an apointment all theyd do is change my rubrbands
its been a yr since i got them off they gave me invisalign which my teeth went crooked again and my crooked teeth are imprinted on my invisalign so it is usless to me. my overbite is back! i ffel so gipped!!!!!! 6 yrs wasted! and my gums still overlap my teeth a little from having the braces on so long …………
What can i do other than braces to get rid of my overbite!!!!!!

I just started invisalign to straighten my teeth, but I’m doing express, which means its only for 5 months. The animation they showed me shows that my teeth will be straight when I’m done, but the center line (space between two top and two bottom teeth) won’t be exact. It will be improved, but not equal. The orthodontist told me it shouldn’t affect anything and was purely cosmetic. Also, he said fixing that would call for a much longer treatment and more $. So I’m perfectly fine with it as long as my teeth are straight, but what does that alignment mean?

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).
