Mine were $5800, but my wonderful boyfriend paid them off for me. Let me tell you, I'm not good with monthly payments!

Alright, some of the posts in this forum are making me jealous.

I serve in the military, and I am still paying in FULL the price of my braces, which happens to be almost $6000.

$700 down, and $248 a month X 22 months. What can I say? It's totally worth it! ....But it still sucks that I have to pay the full amount out of pocket. :cry: :x :lol:
