Does anyone know if you need more schooling to be a dental hygienist for an orthodontic doctor? Do they get paid better in orthodontics than they do in normal dentistry?
Ok, I plan on receiving between $7,000 and 10,000 from a sold car.
The surgery I need costs between 20k-30k with orthodontics, I would like to start the surgery as soon as people…how might I speed things up?
As a impoverished college student, I don’t qualify for a loan because I don’t have an income , and I’m still waiting to see if the insurance will cover part of the surgery, though it is highly unlikely. I’m in a lot of pain and have difficulties sleeping and speaking, so this is not a vanity pursuit if any of you are curious.
Is there a legal way I can negotiate this with the surgeon? He seems very reasonable and understanding, but I don’t think he’ll waive 20 grande. Is there some sort of payment plan I can get on that doesn’t require an income?
any responses will be appreciated!!
I’m thinking about getting Invisalign in place of traditional braces. I was quoted $7500 total for them.
This is a lot of money and my insurance does not cover orthodontics.
With that said, I expect them to work and work well. I plan on wearing them the required 22 hours out of the day and following all recommendations perfectly.
My questions are for people who have worn Invasalign only, please:
-Are you satisified with your results?
-Was it worth the money?
-If you could do it over, would you opt for traditional braces as they are said to work better.
-Were they painful?
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?
All four of my canines are twisted, and I have a lateral next to one of my canines that is back extremely far but not a crossbite. I went to an orthodontist about 4 years ago and said braces for 2 years is the only option. This was before I got my wisdom teeth out. I then got them out about a year later. Do you think the options can change since they’re out now? What do you think? It won’t matter which one, b/c I want perfectly straight teeth. Thank you.
I currently have a dental plan that does not cover braces. I would like to get them before my wedding. I came across Ameriplan USA on the Internet. It seems legit, but some of the reviews are bad. Does anyone know an insurance company that will cover orthodontics?
my orthodontist appointment is in 2 days.
i need to make a desision for invisalign or braces/
Ok, well i have a gap on my two front upper teeth and an over bight and one of the front ones are squished with another one making the one next to it face into my mouth. On the bottom i have 4 crooked teeth no gaps, just looks like there pushed in. Will invisalign work for me or am i better off with braces? And which ones will be cheaper for me>
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
This question is worth 10 points. =)
I went to an orthodontist’s office (getting Invisalign clear braces). They took impressions using some plastic trays (one was too big and they used another smaller set). They also took pictures of inside of my mouth. To help with the pictures, they used several pieces of plastic tools. One in particular is used to keep your tongue down or out of the way when taking pictures (looks like a small plastic spatula), another set of two is used to stretch the mouth (goes inside the mouth and has handles that stay outside to pull). They also used a mirror (put inside the mouth) 3″X4″ to take pictures, etc.
Q: How are all these plastic tools and the mirror sterilized? I am sure the mirror isn’t for one time use only.
Q: How about the rest of the plastic pieces? Are they reusable?
Q: Aren’t the technicians suppose to wear gloves when conducting this work?
Thank you very much for your time and answers.
I went to an Orthodontist and asked her about Invisalign, she said that i would be using them just for my upper teeth and that i “MIGHT” qualify for the xpress treatement, but the only way to know was by me paying $300 for the impressions and sending them to Invisalign….where they can determine if my case is “express” or not….(NOTE HERE… there is a $2500 difference between the xpress n regular invisalign)
It seemed like a scam to me…like, for double the money, why not say it s not, right?
Please tell me if you were an express case! i m seriously considering them, but i want to make a smart decision since i have to pay 100% w/o insurance coverage
