    Hearing all sorts of crazy prices being thrown around for dental braces lately. Just wondering if anyone has had braces recently and how much they cost? I need 'em on the top. Anyone know if they're cheaper up in Norn Iron than down here? Ta!

    Go for a consultation...Everyone's teeth are different.
    You will probably need them on the bottom too.

    yea i got them in the north (i was born there, so entitled to free doctor ;)) anyway think they cost round 1000 IR, but im not 100% sure, that was...7 years ago. i would advie people to wear retainers for as long as possible, one of my bottom teeth is quite crooked, pity my teeth arent perfectly straight

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    My before and after shots. The before ones were taken on a decent camera, the after at half one in the morning on a crappy webcam. My teeth were fixed by the NHS so was free for me. Do they not have the NHS up north as well? They have it in England.
