Metal Mouth Message Board

$6200 ceramic upper and metal lower all out of pocket 18-24 months . Retainers and check ups for 2 years plus they will replace retainers once if needed.

Ortho is in Des Moines Iowa

Quoted $6200 including records, retainers, retainer checks

I'm hoping I don't have to have any!!!
