I used a dental discount card, just a few bucks per month.
That card saved me $3000.
You might want to check with your Dentist to see if he or she takes one.
There are lots of dental discount cards, I found mine over the internet.

15. I will check into it. |
|
my problem is I am changing jobs in January (this is a good thing) so I will have new insurance and not sure what their policy will be on prior conditions. I make enough at the new job to pay for it straight out but why if I have insurance?

I had them for four years, head gear and all.
Nowadays, I think the make the braces even better so you can still enjoy all of your favorite foods!
Don't worry. You may be scared now but in the future you will be so grateful you got them.

3. I have about a year according to the orthodondist. |
|
And I keep being told "but you will look so good afterwards!" So then I say "wait, does that mean I am ugly now?" :cry: :p
