Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

My family is in a struggle now with my mom on chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is $20,000 and right now we can’t afford braces but I need them now. Is there any program or something that can help me and my family pay off for my braces or close? I know you can’t get money off trees and people but were a family in need and I was just wondering? Any advice/tips? Our insurance doesn’t cover orthodontic stuff. Thanks!

You get a plate made for you

I have been told that invisalign is more expensive but doesn’t cause the pain that braces do. Please give me info on this product.

Is their any websites where I can type my city or zip and look up a local ortho and show how good there service & language they can speak?

The dentist took x-rays showing that my 15-year old son has an impacted 12-year molar. He said that it could be straightened with orthodontics. My son had braces for 18 months starting at the age of 12 to address other issues, and now wears a retainer at night. I wonder whether the orthodontist should have addressed the impacted molar when he still had braces.

I’m also older than 18 so you know

I have a gap between my two front teeth and i was wondering how long it would take to close the gap with braces and would I still need to wear them after the gap is closed? For how long?
**The gap is about the width of a penny, its a little smaller than that. All of my other teeth are fine, they’re straight. The only problem is the gap. Im also 15 and I really don’t want to have them that long.
Help pleaseeeeee

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

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.

Invisalign is like a retainer. Does any body know what kind of insurance you will need to get them?
I live in Florida if that helps..
Thanks,
