Advice for braces?

i want to get braces and i got a quote from one orthodontist for 4300 dollars and 7100 for another. the one who offered 4300 seemed a little shady and i don't quite trust him as much as the other orthodontist. i know that the one who offered 7100 will do a good job because she is very educated and knows more about braces than the other person. also, the more expensive orthodontist would have the braces off in a shorter amount of time. do you guys think it's worth it to pay the extra 2800?

Answer:
Definetly go for the more expensive one. Your teeth are forever and you can always make more money, but you can't make more teeth . unless you want dentures lol. Jokes aside I had braces and they cost about 6500 and i had them for 2 years so 7100 sounds about right. Good luck :)
yes! its your teeth
Defiantly the other guy will probaly not do as good of a job
Yes i think you might as well go for the one that was really expensive. its worth it.
i say the 7100 because one u want them off as soon as possibly two because u know she will do a good job
7100 dollars?!?! thats ridiculous! thats waaaay too much! the usual cost is around 4000 dollars.
what i would do to find a good orthodontist is ask friends that have had braces what they thought of their orthodontist.
i would go with the ortho that cahrges 7800 cause u know she knows wat she is doin

***pink and light blue are cute colors

***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain

***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colors

k
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)

it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad

they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff

first theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time

then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!

then they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit right

then that is it!Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, and rubber cover up

when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids

then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, and soft foods-avoid straws

every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days

every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner

dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea
