#1 Post by suetran »

I need to know what's the differnence between them. Does anyone know? also I heard that speed braces cost more then regular metal braces.
does any know what price are they usually at? TIA

I'm sooo confuse!!! my ortho cost all the same for the ceramics (clear) and the metal. I don't know what to do.
He told me that the speed braces are the newer ones and they're alot tinier then the traditional and they cost about the same as the clear ones.... hum.. iunno...

Hi Linda21
Thankyou for taking the time to reply.
I'm just soo confuse.
I thought there was only one type of metal braces.
so normal braces and speed braces are totally different thing?
gosh I'm soo lost....

Another thing is the price usually cheaper for metal braces?
I asked him that but he said that because traditional metal braces are the cheaper ones. The one I would be getting is the newer metal braces " speed braces" .... I'm just worried I'm getting ripped offf here.. =(
