Wow, the cost is expensive. :yikes:


Has it always been that expensive? :skeptical:

How much for subsidized rate (students) via referral?

I dont think there is any subsidized rate for students, even with school referral. But I understand that payment is progressive, spread across over 1-2 years depending on the treatment. The fee will exclude x-rays and consultation; but will include the retainer.

Yes. My son and my niece have white streaks on their teeth. I read in the internet that it is because they swallowed toothpaste containing fluoride when they were young. Our teeth do not have white streaks because there was not many toothpaste containing fluoride when we were young. I guess prosperity and technology advancement have its downside.

Hi,

Which doctor is servicing your case and is he/she good? Does he/she explains thoroughly his diagnosis and plans and welcome questions? Is he skillful in doing the braces. Your child experiencing any pain?

Sorry so many questions. I want to settle dd braces this holiday. I hope I don't have to wait too long for appt.

Brought dd to fix her fused tooth today. The dentist did a wonderful job and it looks much better cosmetically now. Dentist gave an analysis of the crowding in the upper and lower teeth using the mold of her teeth and some photos and measurements which were done earlier.


Was quoted $5K for the braces plus $320 to do 4 extractions. Is this a reasonable price? Is it better to do the extractions and braces during the next long school holiday in Nov/Dec?
