All the quotes I got a few years ago in potomac or NWDC were like $10,000. I have three kids. We went to a recommended orthodontist in Pikesville and paid just over $10,000 for all three sets of braces.

I started out at $4k in Falls Ch, but moved to an Arlington ortho and it came out to $5K. $8K is wayyyyy too much!

If you need another recommendation, you could try EJL Dental.

Thank you. Just scheduled a consultation.

We will have paid at least that but for palate expander, retainer and then braces (which are @5500 alone).

We're paying about $6k. $8500 seems high, unless your kid has complicated teeth?

Wow. Try Michael Orthodontics. https://michaelorthodontics.com/about-us/

I know other families like Dr. Scott in DTSS but I'm thinking that may be where you got the very high quote.

Please recommend your kid's orthodontist if you are paying less than $8500 for braces. We live near downtown Silver Spring. Thank you!
