Regardless of where you go getting braces is pretty pricey and not too fun but if your orthodontist and his staff are always nice to you and treat you well, then the whole experience is not as bad and you get use to it. I recommend Dr. Cohen highly. I had been "shopping" for an orthodontist for awhile before being recommended to him. He is really the best there is, even my mom is going to start seeing him, so from me he gets 4 very bright stars!
