My dd is 1 and 1/2 years into her braces and we just finished paying hers off. The total was $5800. $1500 down, $1000 from our insurance and $175 month for 18 months. Made the last payment July 1st.
DS11 just got his braces on yesterday and for his we got a $449 break for a sibling discount. For his we did $751 down, $1000 from insurance and $150 month for 2 years. We could have done some more of down payment and less monthly or some other version. They were willing to work with us, I guess since we paid on time and had a good credit history with them.
My kids absolutely had to have braces. They were both cases of overcrowding and ds was classified as severe crowding. The poor kid had 4 adult teeth removed 3 weeks ago just to make some room for the incoming. He had no space for 2 teeth coming in side by side. NOw he's got 1 space for 2 teeth that they will try to manipulate to squeeze those teeth in. I had the same thing as a kid so he got it from me.
