Metal Mouth Message Board

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 am getting my braces first and then my husband will get orthoclear in the next year or so. My ortho said he can give a something like a 5% or 10% discount.

my did offer a discount. but you have to pay in full. my braces cost $4600 but if i paid it in full i would have been $4100.. i should of paid in full.

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.

I would have gotten a 5% discount (i think) if I would have pain up front but I'm a student so 5500$ was a bit much to pay all at once.

I get a referal discount one monthly payment for every person i send to my ortho that gets braces. so in theory if i refer 36 people and they all get braces mine would be free!!!! Dont see that happening oh well

Try your hardest!

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.

I was able to get a 4% discount by paying up front. I also got a discount because my ortho is a preferred provider for my insurance company. Worked out well for me. I only paid $2100 total for treatment and that included a distal jet.

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 $$.

My ortho gave me a discount for paying up front.

I received a 5% discount for paying cash up front. It'd have been 3% if I'd used a credit card for full payment. The other ortho I'd consulted didn't offer any discounts.

My daughter got braces about a month after I did. They gave her a 10% "family" discount.

My ortho gives a 5% discount for paying up front which we did, plus you get a 5% discount per person who has had braces. So since I was the third one in my family to get braces we got a 15% discount, plus the 5% for paying up front, so 20%. Even with that they still cost me a lot!

I could have gotten a 5% discount as well if I paid the lump sum up front.

However, that $8100 wasn't going to show up unless I sold various body parts right then & there! ("Check out this spleen! Hardly used!")

I just got Damon 3's and my husband is getting them too...My ortho rocks and gave us a 20% discount on my husbands braces;)
