Does ortho usually give us any discount?????????
I know it is too late cus i forgot to mention about discount when i signed the contract, but i just concern if any of u wil try to negotiate the "price" w/your ortho, will they give u any discount or not??
I didnt get a discount. I even asked if we could get a buy 2 get the 3rd free discount ( lol- I was only kidding, but thought that we might get some sort of discount since my oldest son went there, I am going there and no my youngest son is in phase I) But. alas, they offered no sort of discount.

I think that getting a discount in the 5-10% range for paying up front is common in the US. My discount was 5% of the total. I was also able to negotiate a lower price. I was given a couple different estimates for treatment (metal, ceramic and Damon) and was able to get the Damons for the ceramic price, which was about another $500 off the original quote. So it never hurts to ask.
Damon 3s. On 2/15/2006. Off 2/21/2007!

That would be amazing!
But could you imagine if everyone was able to refer 36 or so people to him?! He would go bankrupt in no time.

My kid's ortho gave us a huge discount on our second kid's braces. She saw the look on my face when she handed me the estimate and then thought for a moment and said they'd call me after they "worked on it" a bit. Then they came back with an offer that was $1,600 less! I didn't even have to ask!
Didn't do the same on the 3rd child's $$.
