DD will need braces soon. They're waiting for some adult teeth to come in before beginning. Even with insurance, the cost will be quite high.
I was wondering if going to a dental school would be more cost effective? Do dental schools even do braces? The nearest dental school is about 2 hours drive away. It might be worth it for significant savings, but how many visits should we expect to make during a year for braces, adjustments, etc? It would involve time out of school, gas, etc. Just wanted to know if anyone has used a dental school for braces, what the cost and quality is like.
