Cost of your braces

#1 Post by BraceEmilyB »

So I live in the UK and I am 17 so I get my braces free on the NHS
I know some people in this group live in America and other country's so i was wondering how much money you have had to spend on getting your teeth fixed

$4,978 in the Philadelphia suburbs. They waving my down payment since my insurance doesn't cover adult braces. My treatment will most likely be 24 months but they are willing to let payments go beyond my removal to keep my payments low.
