Oh, I didn't even think to mention the payment plan, but I guess I should.

$4820 total

$800 down payment split in half ($400 on B-Day, $400 on 1st adjustment)

After I pay off the down payment, I pay $168/mo for 24 months, no interest.

I'm in western Sydney.

I've been quoted AUD 6250 this covers full upper & lower, removal, placement of retainers and supervision during retention phase (approx 4 years). So to make it easier - USD 5,146.00

If I want to go with ceramic or gold brackets then an additional fee of AUD $750 per arch applies - so in USD that is 617.520 per arch

I haven't included the records / mouldings etc fee which I've already paid..

I was quoted an extra A500 per arch for ceramics, but that was 18 months ago. I've since had 6 repositioned, so I figure I'm getting my money's worth.

Um, I thought godzone was in the Sutherland Shoire (not that I'm a resident, I hasten to add).

Nice weather we're having today, aren't we?

$250USD for records due at records appointment

$4200USD for treatment, retainers, follow-ups with 30% down at b-day and 0% interest financing from the the office for 20 months. Upper and lower clear ceramic.

No insurance, all out of pocket cash price, but he knows my dad from church.

thanks everyone for your feedback.

So I assume my price is pretty decent then.

I will be paying 30 month payments of $150.00 (that was with a $1000.00 down).

It would of been about $4000.00 if I had opted to pay in full but seriously unless your rich who can afford that!

I live in Spain.
So, my general dentist and my ortho are different bills.
Pre-braces work done: about 900â‚¬ (about 1200 USD)
Full titanium braces: 3000â‚¬ ( about 4000 UDS)
I had 2 appointments before i decided on my ortho- both were the same price, so i just went to the best known ortho (she is a professor for the Faculty of Dentistry at the State University).

I had one consultation and fell in love with the office and orthos. I payed $250 or so for records (molds, x-rays...etc. They took off 80 for my pano because i could get it from my dentist, but then they had to retake it and still didn't charge me for it!)....If I had gotten my insurance information in soon enough (Alliedhealth discount program) I could have gotten about 1k off but they quit taking that program before i could get it it....No big deal i'm still going with that ortho because I know of a few ppl that go there and they have had very good results. I am paying about $5500 for the rest. This includes my bite plate, retainer and retention for a year. I will be paying in monthly payments. The first three were $370 (Ouch for my wallet for 3 months!!!) and $165/month for the remaining 24 or so. I can pay that off early and it must be paid by the end of treatment. So if it takes less than 24 months then I have to pay it all! Oh well it's a bit pricey for my area i think but it will be worth it!!!

Oh, my payment plan is so much similar to yours , Lea..
My teeth are moving so fast.. and i don`t know if i should be happy or sad, because if my treatment finishes before 24 months , i`ll have to pay it off, so, hopefully if they are wrong they would be only couple of months wrong...lol

I paid $2,000 but that's only for the tops (ceramics) since I only have the top done. Everything included as well.

Gosh, I WISH some insurance company would pay for me. =/

Cermaic uppers, metal lowers, retainer with fake tooth in a spot where I lost a front tooth all orthos wanted to close the gap with my current teeth, this guy is making room for implant, not inlcuded, but with my retainer I will have a whole smile. Mine is 4,600 US Dollars with no charge for broken lig wires, loose brackets or emergencies.
