Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I went to a dentist and he told me that I had to get my 4 wisdom teeth removed in order for me to get braces and he does not put on braces for the patients… he told me that he can only pull out 3 of my wisdom teeth because the 4th one he said he can’t do it he said that he had to refer me to a orthodontics to get it removed… should I just go to a orthodontics so they can get everything completed there or should just listen to what my dentist said and get 3 wisdom teeth pulled out and for the other 1 go to a orthodontics to get it removed

Yes, each of those expenses is an allowable medical expense, assuming that you didn’t receive any reimbursement from a medical plan for them.
To claim them you total your medical expenses. In order to receive a credit your medical expenses need to exceed 3% of your Net Income to a maximum of $1,884 (net income of $62,800). The credit is put on S1 and ON 428 for Ontario.
So as an example if you have $2000 in medical expenses and $30K in income you have an allowed claim of $2,000 – ($30,000 X .03) = $1,100.
The tax credit is worth 15.25% of the allowed claim Federally and 6.05% Ontario.

Hope that helps.
Cheers.

Of the choices below, which would be the one to make an appointment with? (after a dentist of course)
Periodontics
Orthodontics
Pedodontics
Endodontics

look in your phone book for local orthodonists…or ask your dentist for a referral being that they work with some orthodontists communicating back and fourth with one another to discuss treatment plans ex. you need a cavitiy filled before he puts on braces or other treatments before procedure

I have a $2000 deductible, so I will have to pay for the entire cost. Do people still stay overnight in the hospital or is it an outpatient procedure?
