My advice if you wanna get out of those fucking things as quickly as possible... don’t fuck off your orthodontist’s instructions. If you have to wear rubber bands that need to be changed after every meal, do it. If you have to wear headgear at night, do it. Sounds easy enough but after a while it becomes a pain in the dick and the urge to skip it for a day here and there can creep into your mind and talk you into it. Doing so will definitely slow your progress.
How old are?
Not to be rude it's just odd to see some one over the age of 18 to have braces where I'm from.
Have you ever heard of "Smile Direct Club" or "Invisalign"? Maybe you dont have the option but I would highly prefer those to braces.
I think those are more expensive than old fashioned braces, maybe I am wrong. I also wonder about dental insurance payment for those things.
I did Invisalign and they were a little cheaper than braces but that's been some years ago when Invisalign first came out. Standard braces were about $5K USD and the Invisalign was right at $4k USD
Ok, so about the same probably. I asked my daughter's dentist and he thought that Invisalign was a bit more expensive but still recommended that. That was about 4 years ago. None of it is cheap! My daughter is getting her wisdom teeth out this summer, insurance helped to lower the cost on that. I don't know how braces work, since it is often times just cosmetic.
My traditional braces were about $4,000. Invisalign was about $5,200. My dental insurance does not cover a dime of adult orthodontic treatment.

Or strengthening the existing connective tissue would happen helping hold the teeth in place and make the process longer....
Ugh, my 13 year-old is needing them too! Definitely not excited about the cost! Problem with Invisalign for me is trusting my daughter to wear them when she's supposed to!Ok, so about the same probably.
