    Orthodontics Treatment - Should i pay in full, i get €300 off. two yrs treatment.
    Or instalments e.g pay x amount every month (at full price) cos if not happy with treatment i can stop paying.

    Im willingly to pay in full and get it out of the way but my mother thinks i should pay bit by bit in case treatment not 100% successful and I can stop.
    Just wonder what would others do or whats the best option?

    Also if I need any other extra treatment ( if one method doesnt work and maybe need teeth extracted to make room) does that cover the total cost if paid in full or does it become extra cost either way?

    Hi

    Glad that you are going ahead. I would pay in advance.

    1)You will get 300 discount which is great!
    2)You can claim 20% in tax relief from Revenue if you are working. You will be able to claim the whole ammount for tax relief in 1 year and not have an excess from Revenue for each year of claim, it is 150 I think.
    3) The fee would probably not include any extractions if they were necessary but ask the orthodontic this.
    4) In the unlikely event that treatment doesnt work out and there is a problem, then if the orthodontist is at fault you should get a refund anyway.
    5) If you get fed up and just want out, then you can be refunded a percentage, depending on how long it has been going on.

    I have yet to meet someone who regretted having lovely straight teeth!
