Procedures
Braces
Also called orthodontic braces, brackets and wires
Brackets and wires bonded to the teeth to slowly move them into better position.
Braces are made of small brackets attached to each tooth and joined by a wire that is adjusted at regular visits. Over months or years they move teeth into better alignment and correct how the upper and lower teeth meet. Orthodontists treat children, teens and adults. Fees are often set as a total with a down payment and monthly payments, and many plans have a separate lifetime orthodontic maximum.

The orthodontist's quote includes a down payment and monthly payments, so I set up the payment plan.
