Re: Just curious about everyone's treatment cost
I live in California, and orthodontic treatment seems pretty pricey in my area.
24 month treatment (traditional metal braces) NOT including retainers is $6,000 at my ortho's office. It's an additional $200 per jaw for clear brackets. Retainer costs TBD.

Re: My braces story - progress as I go along
I'm impressed that you've never had a cavity. Can't wait to see your progress! I bet your teeth will look amazing when this is all over.
How long were you estimated to be in braces?

Re: Can't imagine what I will look like with straight teeth
I used to stare at my teeth and wonder the same thing. You should look at my Braces Story in my signature. I am about 8 months in, and the progress is astounding. I just came back from a professional conference, and I loved how I was able to confidently smile and meet new people. Having crooked teet...

Re: How long until you started seeing movement?
If you were only given 6 months for your uppers, chances are that they need very little movement. That's a good thing! I noticed the wire smoothing out after only 2 weeks on braces. It's easy to pick out the changes that happen if you take comparison pictures every month. There have been times when ...

Re: BeautifulDisaster - Story Revealed
Hey BeautifulDisaster! I can't see your pictures yet (new member), but it sounds like things are going really well for you. Congrats :) I also have severe crowding and am due to have 4 extractions. I was just wondering how crowded your teeth were and how are they expanding to make space? I really w...

Re: Wonky to Wonderful: My Smile Renovation
I used Superfloss my first month in braces, but it seemed a bit pricey. I switched over to floss tied into a floss threader, and it's a good value and works great. I save the Superfloss for my purse or overnight bag. You may not notice any changes, but you'll be amazed at how much your teeth move in...

Re: The Professor's Story of Braces at 40 (with pics)
Braces definitely make you think twice about what you eat (and when you eat it!) A couple of days ago, my boss had me try out some potato chips he's been addicted to. I reluctantly ate one and commented, "The flavor is good, but crispy chips don't work well with braces." His response was, "Oh that's...
