You're Thornton too right? Who did you go with? My THREE kids have braces thru the dentist Kids Mile High & KMH Orthodontics comes in periodically to that office to service the ortho needs. The first one got them under my insurance which kicked in $2500 and I feel like out of pocket was $2700ish. The other two I have their form handy, the base price was $5480, mom's insurance was in network and got a $923 discount, insurance kicked in $2000. So balance was $2557 but they offered a 10% discount if paid in full so it was $2302ea out of pocket. (This was Jan 23')It’s July, might as well talk about everything except hunting.
My 12 year old went for her braces consult. No issues, teeth aren’t bad, but she definitely needs braces.
Quote was $6800 before insurance kicked in 1000. Seems insane? What prices have people paid recently?
Absolutely.For ***** sake, spring for the permanent retainer when they are done. My wifes parents spent like 5000 getting her teeth straightened when she was a teenager. Get to the end and it would have been 500 to get permanent bottom and top. Nope, ~15 years later and I will get to spring to get them fixed again when my wife finally threatens to divorce me if she doesn't get braces.
Lady I use to work with had three kids all get braces at pretty much the same time. I think she said they were like 17000 bucks for all three.
The first night after getting my braces off I wore my retainer. In the morning it was nowhere to be found. Eventually found it across the room. Did that like 2-3 nights and then I was done with the retainer. Teeth have been fine.My teeth shifted after I got my braces off. They’re close enough but I agree on the permanent retainer.
