[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who the heck in DC is putting on braces for $3K?

Our DC needs 18 monthe of simple realignment and we were quoted $8K in NWDC[/quote]

That is about what my DC needed.  We were told 12-18 months, simple realignment.  And we spent in the neighborhood of $2500-$3000.  Flat rate quoted up front, including retainers and follow ups after the braces came off.   The only extra money we spent was to have a second retainer made at the same time in case the original was lost or broken.  Paid monthly over a year. Fortunately, half covered by insurance.  We would have just paid up front, but we we got more reimbursed by insurance by spreading it out over 2 fiscal years.  Second DC had more significant issues. Not terrible.  But was in braces 2-2.5 years. Came in under $5,000.   We used Dr. Crutchfield in Western Fairfax Co for both kids.  Most of their friends also used him.  Everyone O know has been very pleased.

You’re getting gouged PP.

To the poster who said grades 3-5 were the bes time, huh?  Both of my kids had to wait fo wait until MS, when their adult teeth were in.  Some of their friends had to do a Stage 1 in late ES.  But most kids wearing braces in the same time range as mine. mA and easily HS. [/quote]
