I have Marfan's Syndrome and would like to know if any other members in the forum have the condition and have undergone jaw expansion surgery.

If so, please tell me about your experience.

I am convinced that he included his rent and office staff salary in the price for treatment. I've given him the boot and scheduled consults with other Orthos in my area. So far I've only been to one and was quoted $6,600 for the entire treatment including retainers. I liked this most recent Ortho ve...

Hello! I am a 28 yr old New Yorker and have decided to embark in an adult braces journey and have been doing all kinds of research, including insurance coverage. My dental insurance will only authorize $1,940 towards orthodontic treatment. I have been searching for information about additional denta...

Hey Marg, That's what I've been doing... I have already contact a few that I have found and scheduled consultations. I like to hear other people's experience with their ortho's since Google, yelp, citysearch reviews are not always honest and sometimes manipulated by the orthodonist him/herself. If s...

[quote="margarets"]For $12K, they can give you an explanation beyond "complicated case". Here's what one (very experienced) ortho quoted me: $450 for records $1100 to put on the braces (top only, self-ligating, non-ceramic, good old metal ones) $179 per appointment x 5 appointmen...

[quote="CountessDeSangre"]Good Lord that is a large amount of money! My braces are costing me $5,500, plus retainer fees at the end. I have crowding and a bit of a crossbite. I have clear ceramic brackets on top and traditional metal brackets on the bottom. Maybe you should just have a con...
