Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

My ortho told me that the difference between full treatment invisalign and express are:
1)Express are fewer than 10 set of trays vs. more with full treatment
2)Retainers are covered by full treatment but you need to pay extra if you are under express treatment
3)At the end of your last tray on express and your teeth are still not perfect, your dentist will need to take new impressions of your teeth and order extra trays which are extra cost to you
I know number 1 is true but how about numbers 2 and 3? My ortho told me about these and I just wnat to make sure it is true so I can make informed decisions.
I also think that it is unfair that invisalign express will charge extra (for extra trays) if your teeth are not perfect by the end of your last tray. It would have been their fault if your teeth are not perfect by the end of your last tray

Like the orthodontist puts your braces on, tells you you need them for a specific amount of time (example. 2 years, 1 1/2, etc.) and then tooken them off earlier?
thanks!

How can you close a gap in between your teeth with out braces and without a dentist?

He said if I want my teeth to stay straight that I should wear my retainers every night for the rest of my life. They hurt like KRAZY I’ve had them since last year and they STILL hurt. What should I do?

Six month Smiles is a new technique of cosmetic orthodontics using short-term braces I’d like to know of other people who provide these services.

I know you can pay for it through those health savings accounts, but I don’t think I set aside enough money to do that. Can I just pay for it out of post-tax dollars and then deduct it on my tax return?

Ok, now I am going nuts here.
I have checked everywhere and have not come up with this item.
This rubber ring is clear, or whatever color they come in, and it slides over the cell phone antenna with a charm attached to it.
Not the landyard type. The rubber ring is approx. 10mm
I have no clue what they are called or where to find them.
I have checked two local hobby stores, and on Ebay. On Ebay I do not know what name to put into the search to locate them.
I even tried looking under orthodontics. Nothing!
Thanks!

I just got braces but its only because I had a baby tooth, and I got it pulled. The adult tooth is somewhat stuck in my gums because there is not a lot of room for it to grow in. Now I got my braces, but how long will I have to keep them on for in this certain situation? Also, If I take calcium pills will that help the tooth grow quicker?

I have had braces a few months ago and was almost ready to have them off but my dentist told me I needed them off early because of a serious root canal thing, its been resoved but did not wear my retainer as much as I should have so my to front teeth have shifted slightly and a couple of teeth on the bottom. My teeth are pretty straight but I do want to finally finish off my braces stage. I really would like invisalign but want to know if it is more expensive?

I’d like to get braces. There are plenty of orthodontics in my area. My only concern is how well they perform their services. Is there an online service to see what orthodontist is worth my time? There’s a review site called Dr. Oogle, but they charge $14 to get reviews!!
