A common scenario: You just got back from a visit with your regular dentist and they recommended a visit to the orthodontist. You look in the mirror and, yeah, you agree, your teeth could definitely be straighter. So off to the orthodontist you go. Teeth braces seem to be in your future.
Fast forward a few weeks. Everyone is really friendly at the orthodontist office. The staff offers a cordial greeting and you wait a bit in a nicely decorated waiting room.
The initial visit goes smoothly. The orthodontist takes a set of X-rays, inspects your teeth, and you're done. After a brief wait, the office staff presents you the documents with your quote. The quote for your braces will be $6,000. Ouch. Well at least the consultation was free! The staff explains that you can pay this in installments and offers to start a line of credit for you. You hesitate. The credit line is okay but what about $6,000, that is a lot of money! And your dental insurance does not cover orthodontics at all!
You wonder whether there are ways to reduce your cost of teeth braces. There are. One possibility would be to inquire with the dental plan website where you can find instant suggestions about the plans that would help you the most with the cost of teeth braces. Another possibility would be to just postpone getting braces. But why wait? Yourself, your dentist, and the orthodontist agree that braces would be very beneficial for you. And your teeth are more flexible when you are younger. The prices do not seem to be getting any lower either. Why wait?
