So looking to get my 4 of my front bottom teeth straightened/aligned. I thought of doing it now while I still have benefits at my job that covers 50% of the costs.
I got opinions from 2 separate dentists. Both say ~$3,000 and 1 year of braces on lower half of my teeth.
However one of them told me that the issue is that after I finish the one year and get the braces removed, my teeth are just going to go back to their original alignment and the only way to keep them properly straight is either install a little metal wire permanently behind the teeth (that has to be repaired now and then) or have a nightly mouthguard thing that I have to use forever. Thus incurring more costs continuously :| I Had no idea about this.
Anyone have any experience to know if this is true?
If this is the case then I might not bother going through with it. Any helpful insights appreciated
