Just make sure you do your research and go to several before you make your choice, having just moved to florida from Boston , my daughter had had her braces on for 2 years, she needed just monthly maintainence appts for 6 more months... I got quotes from orthos ranging from 6000-1800 so its a big variation , I went with the 1800 ortho and got wonderful results.. the ortho that wanted 6000 said he needed to take them off, re do impression, and start over when she only had 6 months left.. SCAM... so do your research!!
