retainer? invisalign, metal?

how much does a retainer cost in waterloo ontario? both invisalign and the normal metal kind. i have no dental insurance btw first, best answer gets 10 pts.
--------------------
First of all, invisalign is not a retainer. It is the series of appliances that work the same way as braces. The cost is the same for metal and Invisalign, though some Orthodontists charge more for invisalign. Can cost around $5000. You will need retainer afterwards.

Cost of braces?

I only need braces on my top row of teeth. The bottom row of teeth is perfect. My dentist even said it was a really really nice formation and he asked if I had ever had braces before. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew that what the price range would be and if my dental insurance would cover any of it? Thanks in advance :)
--------------------
it's about 3grand 3.000$ there are alot of play in that number depending on what you get

Please answer?

I need dental insurance where i don't have to pay when i go to the dentist . I want to find one where they cover everything.
--------------------
There is no such animal. Dental insurance is different than health insurance, most policies pay approx 100% for a cleaning, exam and xrays, 80% of a filling or root canal and 50% of any major work like a crown, bridge, partial or denture. (Plus a $50 deductible to boot- some deductibles may be even higher) Depending on the policy and what the dentist charges there may also be a difference between what the dentist charges for a procedure and what the insurance allows. Meaning, for example - a dentist may charge $100.00 for a filling and the insurance allows $80.00, the insurance would then pay 80% of $80 (not the $100.00 charged), and if this is your first dental procedure (aside from a cleaning and exam) they will also make you pay your deductible at that first visit, wonderful huh!

mouth question?

ok so on the left side of my cheek (inside my mouth? i have this weird bump. it appeared about 2 weeks ago but the side the bump is on, my jaw hurts on that side for like 5 weeks. im just wondering if this might be serius? can it be cancer? also right now i dont have dental insurance and my mom cant afford me to go right now, so i have no way of getting it checked. Also i know i didnt bite my cheek becsuse my teeth cant reach that spot.
--------------------
it sounds like it could be a problem but i would hust wait to see if it heals or if it starts to hurt more. i think you should just keep ur eye on it

fafsa, change to lower income parent...?

i applied for fafsa since i started college three years ago, and have NEVER been eligable. thing is, i dont even live at home with my mom, i live with my boyfriend, and i live off $500 a month from stipend i get from my scholarship. here's my problem. i want to do "corrections" on my 07-08 fafsa and put that i'm living with my father, who gets low income. i know that if i just use only his income, i will be eligable to get some fafsa. is it ok for me to just put my father's income on the fafsa, and not my mom's and stepdad's, if i dont leven live with any of them and live on my own, to get any amountof financial aid? is it considered illegal to not report my mom's income, even if i'm not living with her? other than medical and dental insurance, i don't get anything else from my mom, no money, nothing, i support myself in every other way. so, can i just make corrections to fafsa and only put my father's income?
--------------------
Honestly? I would check with your schools financial aid office. It's been a while since i've had to fill out fafsa but there's certain rules and requirements. And until youre age 25, married, in the military or have children you're going to be considered a dependent by your parents whether or not they actually claim you as one (which in my opinion really sucks because I got shafted the same as you are). But if you "misrepresent" your parents financial situation (at least misreppresent by FAFSA's standards) it could get you into really big trouble in the long run if the feds find out. Your Schools financial aid office should be able to give you an idea of who's income is required for you to report whether it be one or both since your parents are divorced. If they give you the go ahead then definitely switch to your dad's income it could certainly help you out a lot if it's lower than your mom's.

Question about Braces and Cost...!?

Ok, well I really need braces and my parents never got them for me. I am now 18, though I don't have a job yet but hopefully i'll get one soon. I think I have a few cavities but I don't have any dental insurance. Do I need to get fillings before braces are put on? And how much do you think I should have before I get my braces started?
--------------------
depends how bad your teeth are. my braces cost like 2 or 3,000 by brothers cost 6,000....he had buck teeth lol i had fillings when i had braces...it dsnt matter at all. you should save about 2 grand. edit: btw i just had the simple metal ones that most people have. not the ceramic or clear ones. the ones where u can pick your colors etc...oh and i never need an expander or anything like tht. i live in florida and usually everything down here in miami is soo much more expensive...i mean by teeeth were bad i had a space in my 2 front teeth my teeth were coming out from here and there and it was only like 2 or 3 thousand so tht guy above me must of had one messsed up face for it to cost him 9,000 dollars.
