So you drove to pikesville every few weeks? What did you do in an emergency?


With three kids at once it might be worth it but we had to go in multiple times for emergencies and monthly.

Dr. Tran in Wheaton but he's pricy too but not that pricy. That seems really high but it depends on what is being done, but excessively high. We interviewed a bunch of orthodontists. Some were cheaper, some not but Dr. Tran had us come in monthly vs. every 6-8 weeks and his staff is fantastic. He also made emergency appointments almost always available.

Yes

Just paid $3k for expander and phase 1 braces at an Arlington ortho who isn’t known for being cheap.

Hi. We're in the Gambrills area. Are you willing to name the practice if you were happy with the care and results? Thanks

Wish people would name practices. OP, which practice is quoting you that much? Others, if you were happy with the results, could you consider recommending by name please?

Is this quote for multiple phases? My son just started his second phase of braces. For reference, DS just started in a full set of braces with an ortho in Bethesda for $6,500. But, I paid $4,000 several years ago for his phase 1 treatment (palate expander and partial braces).

Way too much. We are in NWDC, close-in. Our quote was $6500 in the spring.
