[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of my kids had palate expanders and then braces - between $4500 & $5000 per child.[/quote]

Mine too.  :shock: [/quote]

Mine three.  This is the cost for phase I orthodonture work regardless of what is needed to get the bite lined up correctly.  In our case that has included expander, face mask and upper and lower braces.  This phase appears to be going on forever for one child in particular [4-6th gade].  I was told a phase II may be needed and that would involve additional costs.  [/quote]

PP here, I'm in MoCo and use Dr. Thomas Horton, in whom I have a lot of confidence.  My child had a very crowded mouth and my pediatric dentist did emphasize that she would require someone "thoughtful" and recommended Dr. Hort0n.[/quote]

So the expander and braces are phase1? What does phase 2 consist of?

I was told by a different doc, that phase 1 is the expander and contraption thing that pulls the jaw forward and then phase 2 is the braces.
