The rising popularity of braces in New York can be partially
attributed to adults getting products such as Damon Braces and Invisalign. These new products are
popular amongst those that are older because they are not as readily visible as
metal braces. A product such as Damon Braces offers several advantages over
traditional metal braces. For example Damon Braces as self-ligating which means
that you do not need an arch wire to put pressure on the braces. The lack of an
arch wire means that there are fewer complications that can arise such as the poking
of your cheeks from a straight arch wire. This results in fewer visits to your
orthodontist and possibly less costs.
On average braces cost between $3500 and $8000 with the
average being closer to $3500 for traditional braces. Damon Braces cost a
little bit more, sometimes in the range of $1000 more. If you are looking to
save money on Damon Braces in New York then read on for more tips and tricks
for finding the cheapest orthodontist in New York.
The first thing you should do when looking for a New York
orthodontist to install your Damon Braces is to book several consultation
meetings with orthodontists throughout the city. Doing so will allow you to see
what different treatment options are available to you and give you an idea of
the costs associated with braces. Remember that when you are visiting these New
York orthodontists you should be taking copious amounts of notes so that you do
not forget what they tell you. This will also give you the information you need
later when you are comparing your notes to determine which orthodontist you
choose.
Once you have collected your notes review them and note the
price differences. Establish the lower end of the range. This will be your
starting number for bargaining with your orthodontist. Call up the orthodontist
with the highest quote and tell him or her that another orthodontist has
offered a quote at a lower price. More often than not they will be willing to
beat that price sometimes by several hundred dollars. If not continue calling
or e-mailing other orthodontist to see how low you can go.
You will find that there is significant room to bargain
prices when it comes to orthodontic treatments. Think of shopping for
orthodontic treatment a little like finding a car or a house. The prices are
always negotiable and if you are diligent about doing your research then you
can get the best prices.
Remember that when negotiating prices that you are clear on
what you are negotiating for. You will want to have a price for the
installation of your Damon Braces as well as subsequent follow-up treatments.
Your orthodontist should also give you the prices for retainer fittings and the
creation of a retainer for after your braces are removed.
Another way to reduce your orthodontic expenses is to check
with your medical insurance provided by work. Often times, companies will
provide up to $1500 in reimbursements for eligible treatments. As long as your
braces are to help you fix your teeth, as opposed to cosmetic procedures, it
will likely be covered. Check with your provider to find out more.

My daughter also needs to get braces. Her teeth are so not in line. I got her appointment fixed with dentist Manhattan Beach who is the best for me because I got all my treatments done from here. I am sure she will not feel much pain during the treatment and I know he is quite affordable as well.
