My Fourteen year old Daughter needs braces she has some gaps and alignment issues nothing serious. No extractions needed.
Zero cavities I think she takes good care of her teeth. My Wife and I met the orthodontist, very friendly and popular guy comes highly recommended with a stellar reputation with 15+ Years of practice, I really would hate to shop for an orthodontist.
He is quoting us $5100.00 / 12-18 months (all inclusive) to do the job. Is this in the tolerance of the market for braces for kids now? I have no idea, anyone have any recent experience with this.
He will give a 10% discount for upfront payment.
I hear stories of costs from $1,500- $15,000 for kids I guess it depends on the amount of work.
When I was a kid I had a bad case, I looked like I could eat an apple through a tennis racquet. I should have thanked my parents more thoroughly.
Orthodontists or anyone having been down this road chime in.
