Metal Mouth Message Board

HI ok well im soon to get my long needed braces on in a month or two and at the same time i also aplied for this semester program( it last about 4 months, a break in between) for the beinging of next year.
-so if i were to get accepted i would only have my braces on for a few months, and i would be going away for school considering the school id go to is in denver and i live in texas. I dont know what to do .i dont want to turn down a chance of a life time becuase of braces but yet if i dont get my braces now i probly wont get the chance to do them later(insurence issues)

-So maybe if anyone that knows about orthodontistry would help me out what could i do ? I was thinking maybee months before i leave the doc can extra tighten my braces so the proces would move a bit faster , so it can get into a condition which i can use invisaline so i wouldnt have to worry about tightning and etc. or maybe a permanet retainer until i come back ?


thanks alot

You can also probably find a local orthodontist to do tightenings/adjustments; my ortho said they do it all the time for out-of-town visitors. I believe she said each one would cost about $100, but obviously that will be different for different orthos. Is it worth paying a couple hundred dollars not to have the delay in treatment?
