Re: $$ Orthodontic Treatment Cost $$

[Guest guest]

I don't know where you live and the cost of living where you reside.

Living in New York to me those prices seem pretty resonable, even

cheap. Your first priority should be getting excellent orthodontic

care. Yours is not a simple case because you need an orthodontist who

is going line the teeth up correctly before and after surgery. I am

not saying not to compare prices but it is really important that you

go to a Dr.that has a good reputation and will do the job well.

I know I am overpaying for my orthodontist and my surgeon who will

move the lower foward a couple of millimeter, however going to the

best Drs was very important to me.. My three years of braces is

costing me $10, 000 dollars. My surgery is going to cost $7,000. My

insurance company is only covering $4,500 the rest has to come from

me. I am not wealthy I am a single teacher with pleny of expenses and

debts.

You know what I have no regrets on choosing these Drs. Call me a

primadona but I know I am getting the best possible care. My

orthodontist has a reputation as being one the very best in NYC. In

the two and half years I have had braces he has done an amazing job.

My oral surgeon has a great reputation as well. Both of these Drs.

are wonderful to deal with. It is important to have confidence in

your Dr. and know that he is going to the job right. A friend of mine

had some joint surgery in the jaw she didnt have it broken but it was

considered surgery. The doctor didnt manipulate and place the joint

correctly and she suffered horrible TMJ problems for over a year.

Every Dr. has told her it was a bothced job.

I have taught in middle school and high school and have seem many of

my students with braces and I have seen the finished products when

they were done. On occasion I have seen some louzy jobs, where there

teeth are still crooked or not space correctly or they have a still

have an overbite.

Bottom line is sometimes you pay for what you get. You have to go to

these really expensive Drs like me but I just dont think it is wise

to skimp on price when it comes to quality of work.

Braces is one best things you can do for yourself. My bite used to be

soo bad that I was biting on only two teeth and had severe TMJ

problems. After two and half year of braces my bite is so much

better. Braces tranformed my appearance. I didnt know my teeth cd be

corrected to this extent without surgery. I look and feel amazingly

better. Eventhough I still need surgery to totally correct the bite,

braces is the start of a great transformation in the quality of your

life.

Good Luck, with who ever you choose. Definitely go for the braces no

matter who you go to you will be so glad you did.

Keep smiling,
