yes.. we hear them all the times, we should all trust out orthodontics 100%.. but at the end of the day , they also want our $ too. Here something that been bothering me. myth or true case 1# your orth might lenghten your treatment to match your payment plan??. lets say it will only take me 1.5 year...

It's a weird thing. I had my 4 wisdom teeth out back in 1994 and it cost about a $1,000 US. Granted I asked to be completely knocked out. My husband had one of his out a few months ago with a local shot and it cost $75 I didn't have impaction or anything facy other than being a big wuss — but a &...

but even without surgery.. Im looking at about $600.. is still too high compare to the rest of the people here.. some said they just paid $100-300

I totally understand why wisdom teeths can cost over $1000, sinces normally it require surgery coz the teeth is much bigger and there is more root connected to it.. But the bisuspid!! I heard everyone here said it was a breeze... just 10min for each and they are off.. no pain.. no bleeding sometime....

i live in Canada and going to have 4 bisuspid extracted.. I'm looking at $600-700!!! here is the breakdown of the cost: let me know if it looks right to u: Gen.Anest - 3 unit = $264 Ivdrug dec/antib = $ 50 2 extraction = $140 2 Surgical extraction = $300 Total = $754 cnd = roughly $650 US!! dose thi...

did they have to take out the brace when they did the extractions???

why somtime extractions are done AFTER brace are put on??

hmm it seems like a lot of people do extractions first before they put their brace, but for my case , my oth decided to put the brace on FIRST then do the extractions... why do he do that??

I was told I needed 4 teeths extracted for my treatment so the orth schedule me to get my brace on b4 extraction, is this normal?? anyone else here have a similar process?? if so, anyone know why the orth want to do that?? I know I should ask the orth , but it seems he is always busy and is pretty h...

how about the protruding lips?? dose it happens to everyone when will it get better?? or dose it get better at all??

thanks for your replies. But how about choosing the brace, as I mention b4 , my orth never asked what brace he wants and I'm putting my brace on on my next appointment. Dont he needs to ask me now so he can prepare the brace, or I just choose which brace I want and he'll put it on at the same appoin...

the other thing is, my orth never really asked me what kind of brace I want. Don't he needs time to prepare his tools. Since he only have about 1.5 years for my banding/brackleting. Or is this a simple procedure, as long as he has the tools in stock, is just of a matter of choosing it and putting it...

Ya i think the waiting time is too long, I just called my orth and reshedule it both banding/bracketing to be done at the same time on Sep,21,06.

well I just has my spacer put it, and is going to stay there for 2 week.

On Sep,19,06 I'll go back for banding.... ?? what is banding??

then on Oct,3,06 I'll go back for Bracketing..? what is bracketing?? is it when the DR put the actually brace on???
