Um... let me tell you. BRACES AREN'T WORTH 5,ooo dollars!!! Go to a new orthandontist, maybe one a friend is going to.

most insurance cover ortho at 50% of the fee up to a maximum amount. If she has $2,ooo in benefits, that is super. Usually it only comes out to about 1,000. Any dentist or ortho will charge close to 3,500- to 5,000. A place called Ortho Fee Plan loans money for braces. They are on line. They let you break your part into small monthly payment over 60 months. After filling out the application , they will tell her which dentists use the plan. IF she goes with a general dentist that only charges 3-4 K she needs to remember her benefits wil go to half. Another thing to remeber when shopping for ortho- are all fees included? The monthly visits, retainers, records, deband , and retainer. Some guys sell you the lower price and then in the end you paid more.

She could go to a different orthadontest or dentist. There are many different ones. Braces can be very costy though. Mine costed 6000$(eekk) Here are some orthadontists in Hartford Ct. Tell her good luck finding one!!

Lots of dentists have payment plans. Go to a place that specalizes in braces.

AWAD,

FIND A DENTIST WHO ACCEPTS MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND THIS WAY THE FEES WILL BE TOLERABLE.
