0!

No but really, my parents are taking care of the bill, I'm still in college and am still covered under their dental plans. *whew*

With insurance it's $3400
Without it'd be roughly $5000

Mine is $4,500 before insurance. Insurance will cover $70 a month until July when I turn 23. ($420 total to be covered) I am still in shock at these prices. Kelly

$1995 total for full braces. Insurance pays half, so about $1000 out of pocket.

Thanks for not making me feel so bad. Seemed as if I was the only pushing well over the 5k mark.[/code]

$5,700.00 for 12-18 months orthodontic treatment which includes an upper expander for 3-6 months then braces placed after the expander. I really think the prices vary depending on where you live.

Keep in mind the cost should not be the only thing to think about when making your decision. Another thing to think about when choosing an orthodontist is which orthodontist you feel comfortable talking to regarding questions or concerns that you have.

Good Luck on making your decision.

1,500 with insurance
and i have ceramics which are more expensive i guess. just regular would have been 1,000. who knows how they do it so cheap, because this is a really nice ortho and i think they charge 5000-7000 without insurance.

Well worth it though!

I get mine FREE!!! I work at a dentist office so I get a discount and my insurance pays $1,000.00. So he isn't really doing it for FREE.

$3,000 for me. I prepaid with zero percent financing for 1 year. Then I have to get 2 implants that will be $4,200. My dental insurance doesn't cover braces for adults, and will not cover the implants either!
