Hi All,
I'm a 23 year old New Yorker who's been on the hunt for a good orthodontist and a good price for about 4 years. I've been quoted $1000 - $8300 with treatment times from 12 - 48 months.
On November 8th I'm getting my braces on ($4200 and illegedly 13-18 months) and I'm excited and nervous. I can't wait to actually be happy with my smile.
Thanks,
Danielle

Hello fellow New Yorker. Welcome to the board and congratulations on finally hunting down the right ortho and treatment plan/price!!!!
Nov. 8 is right around the corner. Let's see, practical info…...go all out on your most favorite meal the night before; take before pictures of your teeth for your journal and so you can plot the changes happening in your mouth; get as much enjoyment from sandwiches, burgers, salads and Indian food in the next few weeks….um did I forget anything guys?
Nervousness is soooooooooo normal. Excitement, well …that belongs to a select few. You have so much to look forward to.!!! Best of luck.

Hi Eleni!
Thanks for your sweet reply.
My dates got moved up!
November 1st is now D-day.
I'm so excited I don't have to wait as long.
I'm only a bit scared of the spacers. After reading this site it seems that's the most painful bit.
