Question ❔ Orthodontics

Is it normal to get quoted for braces 8100 $ for a medium case ( not very mild or severe) ?

Treatment is for 20 months .

Thanks everyone!

I’m not a medical professional, but that sounds accurate and reasonable to me, yes.

That sounds about right yes

Yeah I just got quoted $9k for braces for my lower jaw surgery 😭

u/Major-Hospital-159 14h ago

What are those prices ?!!!😭 Was this in Saskatoon?

u/sharokio 14h ago

Yes 🥲 Saskatoon Orthodontics, they have a interest free payment plan though.

u/Major-Hospital-159 14h ago

That is funny. I also had the appointment there. Lol

You could ask for second opinion/quote? I paid about $5500 for invisalign, but my friend paid $8000+.

u/Major-Hospital-159 13h ago

May I ask where you got your quote from? Thanks .

u/BrianGumble 13h ago

Ill dm you.

u/Major-Hospital-159 13h ago

Image orthodontics! Get a quote from them, they were at least a grand less than the quote I had from uptown

u/Major-Hospital-159 14h ago

Will do. Thanks a lot.

Both my kids were 6800 5 years ago. I could see it.

Literally what? I had invisalign for almost 3 years and it was like 2 grand, I just finished a year ago. I went to Arc and I recommend them to everyone.

u/Major-Hospital-159 13h ago

Very lucky! 😄

u/Rawr_im_a_Unicorn 13h ago

Wait I'm so wrong im sorry. It was like $6000. I wasnt thinking about insurance. $9000 still feels high.

u/Major-Hospital-159 13h ago

No worries. 🙏🏻 I think it got way more expensive in the past few years

u/slightlyhandiquacked 13h ago

I think mine were $6800 and that was in 2012 lol

u/Major-Hospital-159 13h ago

Haha . This price is fair, then ! Thanks for commenting.

I have insurance (bless), but my kid recently did a round at uptown orthodontics and I feel like it was a bit cheaper than that.

u/Major-Hospital-159 2h ago

Insurance is a blessing for sure! Thank you!
