I'm in Australia and mine were $5450. It was $1850 up from and then $200/month thereafter. One month I put in $1000 so they were paid off quicker. My health insurance covered $3000 of them.

Would’ve been $5800 but I got a family discount and then they price matched to keep me with them (my daughter went to the same Ortho) so I got it down to $4999.
