No matter WHAT the cost, having a functional bite and attaining BETTER health AFTER treatment is PRICELESS.

$20000 for braces. Plus we need 5 teeth implants and three teeth that need restorative work.
Maybe a little more for two. They haven't had their consult yet with our new orthodontist in Michigan. I know their case is more complicated.
Plus we have already spent approximately $3000 at our other orthodontist in Iowa.

All out of pocket for mom and three children.

total treatment incl retainers: 5,300

Add the cost of an Oral B and all the extra brushheads and floss and mouthwash... but I'm not sure that matters much.

Need no truck, but care about my teeth and health!

My cost is $5400 for the braces (my isnurance covers all but $2300)
I think it was $25 for the extraction (again have to love insurance)
and $60 for the waterpik. All the brushes, floss and wax were given to me by my ortho.
