Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

okay, so im getting braces this december. And My orthodontics told me that im wearing it for 1year and half and after that, im going on a jaw surgery ! and he said i`ll have the braces for another year? .What Im wondering though is ? If i would ever go for jaw surgery ? Do i have to wear something like supporter like through around my head & jaw? for the whole year that im going to have with the braces on? .. =\ im really scared .. of the surgery. So please give me a good answer!!?!!

I need braces very badly. I currently have coverage through my insurance that will cover $1,500 of my $5,700 total cost, leaving me to pay the remainder.
Is there better insurance I can get? Or is this a pretty good amount they are paying? $4,200 out of pocket for braces is just something that I can’t really afford as a working college student. I know I can make payments, but still, thats $175 a month over a 2 year period. I just don’t know if I can afford it. I’m already working full time while going to school full time and am trying to save up for a car so I don’t have to ride my bike all the time or take the bus.
Is this average? Do you have any information about orthodontics and insurance you could give me?

My 12 yr old daughter is scheduled to have her braces put on in @ 2 weeks & I have to decide between having the “forces appliance” or “tads” which is advisable in your opinion & any add’l info please?
thanks

I am wondering if anyone has experience with Invisalign, or a similar “adult” orthodontic option. Without dental insurance, how much is it? How much are monthly payments? Any advice?
