It may save you money in the long run - less dental care, less time off work. Nothing is too expensive if you want it bad enough or if you have to have it. Straight teeth for the balance of one's life, assuming 60 years left, is only $50 a year, or $0.15 a day.
Many people regard this as a better use of their money than a trip to Mexico. Orthodontists don't like to see money get in the way of your health. They adapt the payment plan to your particular needs and come up with an affordable solution. Of all medical services, orthodontic treatment has gone up the least. Shorter treatment time and greater efficiency has reduced the cost.
Even people of limited means are getting their teeth straightened too, including secretaries, single parents, etc. It may actually make you money; with the increased self confidence you may gain from knowing your teeth look their best. The doctor doesn’t live in Beverly Hills, he lives and works locally and is in touch with what local people can afford. |
