Yippee!!!!!
Just went to see my good ortho friend Lizette who gave me the fantastic news that IF my teeth continue to cooperate and move as she plans them to, I could be off my braces by end of this year!!!!
So….cross my fingers…..I am hoping that by the next big anniversary celebration of my in-laws in the province this December, I could eat properly without all these metal contraptions in the way. And smile for all those photo ops without wondering if I should have the photographer Photoshop my braces away or not (hehe).
And, finally gain some decent weight!
hi.
can i ask something?
how much did it cost you to have your braces?
thank you.
Jane: Hi Mae. I would not hazard a guess since the range of braces will really depend also on the condition of your teeth as well as how well you know the ortho. My ortho is a friend so I was able to pay in reasonable installments. Look for an ortho you are comfortable with and ask for an estimate.
Mae, after you have your estimates down, the second thing is to get an insurance or dental plan that covers braces.
