Braces..

Wesc. · 2011-09-11 16:18:45

My teeth are not that straight due to the lack of space in my mouth. I was thinking of getting braces to fix this however my friend has them and despises them. I'm currently in 6th year and will be in college next year. I was wondering could i get them even just for a year? Thanks.

Yep they are registered!! The orthodontist said that there is a ceiling on the amount i will be paying and it won't go above this even if the treatment takes longer than 2years but it could be less than this amount if I finish the treatment earlier but he said there really is no way of knowing!! I can call in anytime if I have any problems at no extra cost an everything is included. So this is normal?? I wil be billed/invoiced quarterly!

I would see no problem with this. Sounds like your orthodontist is trying to take the fear away from you thinking he will deliberately lengthen the treatment by offering you a 'maximum ceiling' price but letting you know that it may not come to that. I tend to do that with patients to allow them to budget as well as possible before starting treatment. Not the way everyone does it, but suits some people well.

Thanks for the reply. I am happy with the treatment I have received to date!! Its a long way to go and I can't wait to see an improvement!! I know it will be money well spent but it is still a lot and it was not an easy decision to make!!
