Do You Need Braces?
Posted By Robert
In most cases such as crossbites, and others, you will need braces. However there are somethings you need to consider first before you get them. We found this useful article from archwired.com that definitely helps. Here are our favorites:
Get at least two opinions, if possible, as a “sanity check.” Orthodontists can vary in their treatment approach. If you don’t like what one ortho says, get more opinions until you reach a consensus of opinion — especially if extractions or jaw surgery may be involved. Consultations are usually free.
How much do braces cost? Typically, around $5,000 (US dollars) for braces on upper and lower teeth for two years of treatment. This cost may be slightly lower or higher, depending on where you live.
Be realistic about your own expectations, and the impact of braces in your daily life. Are you ready to have them in your mouth and deal with them 24/7?
