Is this typical of what I would expect to pay for the braces?

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
Q.
I have just had a consultation at a dental clinic in the City regarding having my teeth straightened. I have prominent front teeth, in particular one to the side of my middle teeth, and was recommended traditional fixed braces for 18 months with a permanent retention wire at the back of the teeth permanently afterwards. I was quoted £3,800 for the treatment which seemed rather a lot. Is this typical of what I would expect to pay and is the permanent retainer necessary (I hadn’t expected this)? I look forward to hearing from you.,

Do I need fixed braces on the bottom teeth? I only require them for the top teeth…

Monday, May 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I had functional braces (to move my jaw), then fixed braces and finally retainers for 2 years. wasnt totally happy with the result. I’ve also lost the retainer for my bottom teeth. Im considering adult treatment but will i need to have braces on the bottom as well as on the top? Whether I’m talking or smiling, you cannot see my bottom teeth…so why does everyone have braces on the bottom! i understand why people have functional braces on both the bottom and top, but why have fixed ones on your bottom teeth when no one seems them? also i had the fixed braces on the bottom for much longer than the top! Thank you so much for answering in advance,

How long will it be to fix overbite with retainer?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Q.
Hi, i got retainers for overbite in August, and wore them everyday, day and night for about a month, then i stopped after they were tightened because it was too painful, but i decided that im going to wear them again. How long will i have to wear them for my overbite to be cured? Also, i have a gap in my front teeth, and there is no metal/brace on my retainer for that, so i think i am getting fixed braces after my overbite is cured. How long till the gap closes up? Thank you.,

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Q.
Hello, I am wondering if you have an average price for the clear fixed brackets for the upper teeth only. i have been quoted £2500 although I asked if this was for both upper and lower and they said yes and although I only want the upper ones fitted there would be no change in cost. Can you confirm if this is normally the case? Thanks, K,
