1. Where are you located? Actually live in Netherlands for work at the mo, but treatment is in the UK as I permanently live there and go back and forth
2. How much are you paying for your braces? £3000 (plus I think £100 or so for initial consult)
3. What kind of braces do you have? Lingual top and bottom
4. What is your estimated time in braces? Well, dentist said 8 months, ha, ha, it's been 16 months and plenty still do be done so I'm aiming for the 2 year mark.

[quote="felicia"]1. Where are you located? (city, state)

4. What is your estimated time in braces?[/quote]
1) Arlington, TX
2) $4,000 (w/insurance)
3) Ceramic (though I'm somewhat second guessing myself after browsing this forum)
4) 18-20 months

I just had my molds done today, but I have a cleaning scheduled for the 2nd, so I won't get braces until the 8th. I didn't plan to get started today, since it was my second consultation at an office I'd never heard of, but the people were so friendly and seemed knowledgeable. They did my x-rays for free and discussed them with me, then showed me videos, samples, and models, and answered more questions than I asked. They were overall pretty awesome, and they were also $200 cheaper than my main office, which has never made me feel all that special, so I'm really glad I took the initiative to shop around a little because I think it will be a much better experience.
