Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

i had braces, but after they were off they shifted slightly because of my puffy gums. they are not that bad at all, but it would give me more confidence if they were perfect.
i also read another question of invisalign and a lady said it costs different in every state, so i live in texas if that helps at all.
thank you

I’ve had braces before, and the retainer that came after, which I hardly ever wore. I just want to know if Invisalign is like wearing a retainer and if it’s worth the extra cost?

hi! my parents have two different dental insurances coming in, one from work and one for something else i cant remember exactly.. anyway how much estimated would it be? and has anyone used them and would like to tell me about them? THANKS!

I live in Australia btw.
My teeth are not that crooked, although I have about 2 or 3 that are a bit out of place. I also went to an orthodontist a while back, and he said that I have small mouth/jaw so some of my teeth are clustered together and will need to get 2 removed.
How much do you think the braces will cost?

I’m thinking of asking my dentist about them when I go for my next cleaning. Do you know if they work well and how much they cost? I think my teeth have gotten crooked over the recent years, since I’ve decided to keep my wisdom teeth. Thanks for any info.

If I go to a Manhattan ortho vs. a Brooklyn ortho or a Premier provider vs. non-Premier, is there a difference in cost?

I have a gap about .5 centimeter. My teeth are perfectly straight and I want to get braces only on the top row. My bottom teeth are perfect. How much would that cost? Should I get braces, or bonding. Does bonding do well over the years because I’ve seen some people and their teeth turned black.

I had braces for 11 months about 3 years ago. But I didn’t really wear my retainer :{ and now they are a little shifted. So if I was going to get braces a second time how much would they cost?! half price or full price?

I recently visited a doctor and was quoted $4675 for the braces and $250 extra for extra stuffs.
I don’t have dental insurance. Is it possible for me to apply for a dental insurance and then start my treatment. I haven’t started my treatment yet. Will the insurance plan pay at least partially for the cost of the treatment? any ideas?

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?
