Didn't try, but there are different methods of paying, like if you pay all at once there is a 5% discount etc.

Lol. Written pretty poorly, but is still interesting.

Probably because of the recession, gold is a stable form of monetary value and since economies are screwing up, people invest in gold to keep their money safe. a higher demand for gold means price for it rises. So they want all they can get and make profits.

It depends on if the mould was taken before there was a gap, like in my case, my gap formed after i got the mould a month or so before, so my retainer fixed it.

I would say don't use electronic, it can damage your wires and cause problems more easily, unless you don't mind going to the ortho when your electric damages them, stick to manual.

I've never been told not to use it, i used 1 or 2 tubes during my 2.5 year treatment. My teeth are evenly coloured xD.

There are chances that facial expressions change from the change in position by the teeth...

Mine were included in the treatment cost. It does sound a little expensive, but reading online I've seen people say that replacing regular ones are about $400. So $600 sounds about right. Better to ask other local orthos for quotes than ask a forum.

lol, extractions are probably done for a reason, weather it be time, space, overbites or other problems.

If i recall correctly, it takes 1 day to become stable / fully harden.

They drilled the glue off mine, they missed a spot, and i told them.. or else it would of stayed on for a long time =p.

It is nothing to worry about compared to all the pain during treatment.

the gum looks black probably because of the blood.
is it normal?

[sorry double post]

I've had 4 teeth extracted, i'm guessing its over crowding, but it was just one tooth that went in a bit. Many people get teeth extracted when they have braces.

Everyone will have different experiences with pain and what happens. I found that i could always eat normally after adjustments/ getting them on but the next day it would hurt.
