Is paying $4500 for braces too much?

Question

I know that the price for orthodontic dental procedures vary from case to case, but I feel like my daughter's orthodontist is charging me an arm and a leg here. I've heard from others who got similar procedures done that adjust crowding (with expanders and extractions) for around 3, 600.

I'm just askin' for your opinion-- is 4.5k too much?

Answer 1

Your right in the average price for orthodontic treatment. In my case, I paid around $2000 for mine because of this great plan I have. www.healthsavings.ourperfectcard.com I signed up online over 5 years ago and they have saved me thousands since $$. From my Braces, to exams, xrays, extractions..etc. all services are included in this very very affordable plan. My benefits were active in 2 hours and was able to use it the very same day. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It really does depend on how long your daughter has them for, how many checkups she needs, & if she gets a retainer. If she gets a retainer, & goes in for a monthly checkup that seems right I guess.
