plz give me your time frame from how much time is needed and how much you guys paid

if you are traveling, can the fixing happen from one denistry to the next?

someone just give me a breakdown on what usually happens, so I can see what it's going to look like, in general,

wis teeth
braces
whitening
etc.

-thx

I paid somewhere around $4k, it was about 3 or 4 years. Don't really remember the plan.

Holy crap they worked on my mouth for probably 3 years...

Of course I had a palette spreader (started at age 17) and top+bottom braces + rubber band thingies, then had upper two canine/bicuspids pulled since they were baby teeth with no adult teeth coming... then I had a retainer with two fake teeth in their place (freshman - sophomore year at university), then had a big operation where they drilled holes in my jaw and screwed in two titanium screws, then 6 months for that to heal with the fakey retainer still, then got the placeholder screw heads removed and temporary teeth put in, then another 6 months or so later the fake ones came off and they put in good, solid teeth.

Dah, I'd have been fine without any of that but my parents insisted. Whatever. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about anything in my mouth now.

I had braces over the course of 6 or 7 years when I was a kid. 2 years of just the top and bottom front 4, and a few years of full braces. I never wore my retainer afterwards so they moved ever so slightly, but I got a fiberotomy after I had them off, which I hear helps.

Call and ask an orthodontist's office any/all questions you have about braces
Call and ask an oral surgeon's office any/all questions you have about wisdom teeth extraction
Call and ask a general dentist's office any/all questions you have about whitening or dentistry in general.

Costs will vary from area to area. Treatment will vary in length depending on the individual.
