Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

Does anyone know what I should do in order to save some money as orthodontics can be quite expensive? Do you think I should go to the Newcastle dental hospital or visit a private dentist in my area? For your information, I am an international student here in the UK. Thanks a lot for reading!

Usually I just have 10 minute appointments for tightening. But I was told when scheduling my next appointment that is gonna be 35 minutes long. They didn’t tell me why, but on the appointment slip it says “bond retainer” where it usually says “tightening”.
What does this mean?? Why would I get a retainer when I haven’t even gotten my braces off yet??

I am getting fixed braces soon and I was just wondering what colours can you get put on and how many colours are you allowed? How often can the colours get changed?

Ok so today I went to get my records for braces.I am 11 years old and will be 12 in July.ANyway Dr.Ji looked in my mouth to see how it was gonna abe done.He said that there was 1 tooth still at th bottom trying to come up but,it can’t until all my teeth don’t have gaps anymore.Then in the way back of my mouth on the bottom Dr.Ji said the top is coming up fine but he;s concerned about the bottom of it on where’s its gonna grow.SO he said after a whole when i get my braces.He’s gonna see whether they’re growing correctly.AND HE SAID IF THEY DON’T I HAVE TO GET THEM OUT!!!I THEY ARE PERMANENT!!And another this is spacer’s are spacers?Why do I need spacers?Will they hurt when i get them put on?Will they hurt when they take out?Will they hurt when eat?Cause i gotta get spaces on May 14th.At 9 in the morning im in 5th grade and i will be late for school

Well in a week im getting braces and…they didnt give me spacers?
What does this mean?

I just had my braces taken off and would like my teeth whiter before i start school…
any strip that reallly work?
and if i combine strips with whitening toothpaste will that speed up the process?

Because my teeth are very ugly. i have like a huge overbite. i would use regular braces but i don’t want my high school graduation picture to have me with braces but i also don’t want to have ugly teeth. and i know that i don’t have time to get the regular braces off before my high school graduation. i’m about to start school for my junior year.

i think my orthodontist is a quack. he told me that i should have my braces off within 2 years. that time is up on august 16th, and as of right now, my teeth are more crooked than theyve ever been.
am i just paranoid, or is he really as bad as i think he is?
