I had braces as a teenager, but I failed to wear my retainer as much as I should have. Now I'm in my 20's and all my teeth as straight except for the front two which, as well as being quite large, protrude somewhat. I get very embarrassed about them and I would love to have them fixed, but I'm not sure I can afford it. Does anyone know how much it might cost?

It depends upon where you live and what needs to be fixed. I practice in Sacramento and I charge $5200 per complete case. It is possible that your Orthodontist may charge, if only your upper front teeth needs to be fixed. Hope that helps

That depends on where you live, but you can get help. You can get low cost work done at high quality dentists: There is a very in-expensive but high-quality dental plan that can help you with that. It doesnt pay 100%, but can save you signifcant money, and most dentists are good about taking payments if you at least have a plan of some sort. Another good thing is, unlike tradional insurance, everyone in the US qualifies for it (except alaska and montana) Read on:

I would guess several hundred, towards a thousand maybe.

see your dentist as it may be able to be treated on the NHS if this is causing mental distress.
