I am planning on getting braces to fix my mild overbite and bottom teeth. I am 36. I am excited ; I have wanted to do this a long time. Today in a routine dentist appointment to get ready, I was told I need a root canal and crown to the tune of $1200 ( with my dental insurance discount) . I have to have the maintenance stuff done before the braces in December, but wow - I was not expecting that expense. I have about $3000 saved toward the braces now- but with this added expense I am down to $2000. I don't want to finance the braces, but guess I could in order to get started. I also have to have an old root canal tooth gone bad way in the back extracted- oral surgery for this tomorrow. That is $1100. This is getting really expensive. I am planning on an implant to replace the tooth that is being taken out tomorrow. But the braces have to be done first. ok... at my age is this worth it all? By the time it is said and done we are talking about $15,000 to my teeth.
--------------------
It's expensive but so worth it. My self esteem was so high after I got my braces off - I couldn't stop smiling! I had really crooked teeth so it was a huge difference. Most offices will do payment plans - kind of like paying a house or car payment. You pay a certain amount per month for X amount of years. I paid mine every month for 3 years. Talk to your orthodontist or dentist- they'll work with you to make sure that you get your braces.
