What the heck is up with dental these days? The Orthodontist is just as expensive as a regular dentist- over 5k. We're talking an overbite, not like massive crooked teeth and fangs! 1|1|Because that fee usually includes unlimited visits for life. My daughter can return to her orthodontist in her thirties for follow up...with no additional charges|Barb09|Barb.erradi@aol.com|14:04:08|05/03/2014|
AFTER 10 years.... My email address has
changed. PLEASE note this...as many of you
have me memorized, lol, or in your address
books. Please delete my old email from your
contacts
2|2|I will have to ask that question to the Orthdontist. They didn't mention that|kdrink|kdrink34@yahoo.com|14:13:54|05/03/2014|
if anyone can give me any tips I would appreciate it.
One thing that irks me.........one of then specialists came out with an offer $300 off, plus laser whitening at end of treatment for free for "new patients". Am I a new patient.....NO........but the braces are not even on yet! 3|1|Why did denists get so high too|LindaOH|Lindafmartin47@gmail.com|15:36:15|05/03/2014|
when my kids were small it was $15 a trip $25 with xrays, for my grandson it was usually close to $200, my daughter who is 45 had braces they were $2,000.00 my grandsons were $3,400 and that was with a discount( she used to be married to family member) and I am almost sure its not lifetime visits with us, last words were I've done all I can.I figured they charge so much cause they can, and most people have insurance that pay some of it. 4|1|kdrink|Lorey12|Lorey12@yahoo.com|17:05:13|05/03/2014|

:-D 5|2|Hmmmm. Which do I choose> braces for child or $1,070.00 crown for myself|kdrink|kdrink34@yahoo.com|17:57:20|05/03/2014|
Dental insurance pays very little and the maximum is $1,000.00 lifetime for Orthodontist.
Since when does a crown cost $1070.00? Braces at $5,500.00+?
I started to chew only on the left side of my mouth. I'm sure it will be a matter of time before the fillings on my left side crack. That's pretty much Murphy's law.

OhMyGosh, I don't have an answer to that question but here's some GREAT NEWS. I recently got my braces off. I got them after my son was deployed to Iraq several years ago. I had started grinding my teeth in my sleep and that was creating issues and I already had some teeth issues so my dentist sent me to the orthodontist.
That show Shark Tank (I LOVE IT) had an inventor on the other night who had a "under the skin" facelift. It was a little piece of plastic that you wore over your top teeth up over your gums. They were suppose to help with facial wrinkles. So, $5K for braces is TOO much but maybe if you could call them a facelift and braces that would take some of the sting out of the cost.
I don't think my face is wrinkle free, though :(
