    Is EUR7,000.00 too much to pay for lingual braces?

    Thanks

    Lingual orthodontics is much more complex and time comsuming than regular braces on the front of the teeth. You will pay extra for this type over the regular ones., with the benefit that they cannot be seen from the front. IMHO. Cost and value are two different things. It depends on who is provising the treatment, their experiance and qualifications etc. Read the charter before post any replies please. Maybe somebody else who got the same type of braces ( these are not regular braces peope) can give you an indication of the treatment time, result, comfort and maybe cost.

    I am no orthodontist, but for such a complex job that does not sound too bad to me. Its tax deductible and over a number of years.
