Metal Mouth Message Board

$2G's cheaper, I'm going the same route as you, clear uppers and metal lowers.
But you didn't mention, American or Canadian dollars?

I was quoted at my consult today around just over $7200+ Cdn, that's around $6300 US, for 24-30months. My braces will cost me 7000 CA$, not including the retainers after treatment, for an estimated time of 24 months or more. I have Damon braces, whose cost per bracket is much higher than convention...

Actually my mistake, $7500, for 24-30.
I wouldn't look at it as getting shafted...how about "corrected"?

Heh, I like that take on it, considering I'm going to be out $8100 CDN.

lmao

Ya, well, this Ortho has quite the office and workings going on. FULL STAFF, and I mean full. Personal assistant, x-ray technician, secretary, office director, 3-4 assistants doing the adjustments (whatever their technical names are). Currently, hired a valet service as he's on a major road and they...

In a way, I'm excited as hell to get this over with and in a way, NOT.

Just wondering if this is a bit steep than most.
I'm thinking it is, but then again, that's why I'm posting.

Thanks.

hey congrats, so when you going to slap them on?
I might go in a month or so.
Have to do my laser eye surgery first, then I'll go with this.

Where you from?

Just got in from Ortho, here's the deal. It wasn't my canines, but my premolars that they MAY remove if they see that I need it. Getting my wisdom teeth out, so that should be quite enough room, so I don't understand the pre-molars going as well. *shrug* He may shave to make room, but said, there's ...

Anyone have any recommendations for Toronto, actually more preferred is in the west end. York, Etobicoke, Mississauga.
I'm seeing one tomorrow (Vendittelli), but I want to get a 2nd and 3rd opinion even.
Thanks...

Well that's what I essentially meant when I said practice, but, we'll see, it's on Friday again with the same guy (after 3 years).

I'll find some others here in Toronto.

Ya I guess I could do that, or, after the consultation, Ill ask for copies?
If they let me (doubtful though).

Karen you're right, my first trip to the Ortho who said extractions weren't necessary was my 3rd Ortho opinion. Had I not chickened out or procrastinated I would have had them off by now without extractions (that's what happens). But if that Ortho hand picked this new guy to take over his practice a...

After so many years of putting it off. Going to my Ortho Dr. WoodS (new guy, replacing the original guy's practice). However I have a question. At the time of my first appointment, I was 27. The ortho said, he could fix everything even with my wisdom teeth in place. I went to my dentist and she said...
