Same here. Estimate if they need braces for phase 2 is $7500.

Yikes! Y'all should move out here to the suburbs. Literally every last thing is way cheaper out here. By like 30%!

I’m the original $4k poster. We have already done multiple consults without paying a dime and we’re specifically recommended to this provider because he’s good with kids with sensory issues. Worth the $ to us, hopefully it pans out. We are well aware we could pay less elsewhere

I thought it was 50% up to $5000--so if the total was $7600 they'd pay $3800?

$3k for phase one
$6k for phase two
$800 for teeth to be pulled via oral surgeon
Not sure about the other work kid will need with the oral surgeon, but I assume a few thousand as they will need to be out under.

I got them as an adult for a minor issues. $2500 and insurance paid 1k. It cost less because I paid cash in full.
