Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I just got braces last week and I just found out about lnvisalign. And if i can switch, will it cost a lot of money to do so?

im a young adult who needs $12,000 in dental work and jaw realignment because i didnt get orthodontics as a child when the dentist said i needed them.
my parents are seperated : my father refused to pay for anything when i was a child (hes quite wealthy) and my mother and her partner chose to be hippies living off welfare (so they had no money for it)
is it wrong of me to now ask them for the $4,000 the dentist quoted for my teeth as a child?
considering all the pain and suffering, and the fact that all these problems are a direct result of a serverly bad bite, should i be upset with them and ask for the whole amount i have to pay now?
i have a very small income and no dental insurance

My dental insurance doesn’t cover orthodontal, so before I go I want to know now what types of treatments/options I wont be covered by, I mean like braces, etc….what else?

I already have the color bubblegum(light pink but my orthodontics named it bubblegum) on all of my top braces, but I just don’t know what color to chose for my bottom braces! Please give me a color that would be cute and will match my top braces.

First, you need to take enough college ‘undergraduate’ classes to where a Dental school will accept you as their student, then, you need to fulfil the Dental school’s undergraduate requirements, then, you need to attend Dental school to become a dentist, and then you need to study to become an orthodontist.
My recommendation is that you ask a local high school guidance counseller where the nearest Dental school is, and then ask that Dental school for a list of their admissions requirements and for a list of other nearby Dental schools.

I work at a big company, it is kind of awkward to brush your teeth in the bathroom. So I was wondering if i can just gargle with mouth wash instead? Thank you.

I’ve been looking into getting Invisalign however Im not sure how all the payments work. I have my health insurance structured so that I pay for the full doctors visit until I reach my deductible minimum. However my dental insurance covers half of all orthodontics. I have read that Invisalign costs around $5k for most cases. Is that the total cost you have to pay, or do you have to pay additional costs each time you go to the orthodontist on top of the $5k?

I had my wisdom teeth removed and it started to hurt after the anesthesia from the needle wore away. And I am going to get braces. So which one hurts more or which one is more annoying. Because I don’t want to go through the same aggravation that I went through with my wisdom teeth. I will choose best answer.

numb = injection with Novacaine or something similar to numb your mouth.
Do you?
