very expensive!!! I was referred by my dentist because my son had tmj with his jaw popping and dr Roy didn't qualify him for free service with my son has Medicaid and he recommended braces for him to help which his insurance wouldn't cover unless it was a medical need , and was charging me 6380.00 for braces which I started and paid 300$ up front (stupid mistake ! I did, I should of done my research) all they did was X-rays and molding on my son and charged me a total of 402$ that I will never see again , but I found a great dentist place that a friend had told me and my sons braces will cost 3400$ instead of 6380$ ! if you can't really afford braces please please do you research of cheaper places!!!!
