I have the coloured ligature braces, its purple for this month
I often have mouth sores in the right side, thank goodness for wax!

Do you have an idea if it dental services costs a lot in countries like US, Australia or in your country? thanks!

In my country they are expensive, but still pretty OK. I have the Damon system which is pretty expensive as compared to the ligature one (the ligature braces are not used anymore by my orthodontist, he doesn't like them ) .. Damon as self ligating braces is better, but more expensive indeed.

In my country Damon is something like 1500 Euros .. Don't know the "translation" to USD ... it's not that hard though to make the calculations ..

I will have the braces (just partially, they are on the molars, the incisors are not braced since we wanted to solve the serious issues I had on the laterals, then I'll get to another treatment .. invisalign).

Invisalign it's even more expensive: it's 3500-4000 Euros in Romania. I assume it's way expensive in your country ..

We need to just hang on there. In half an year (passed so quickly) I saw HUGE changes in my teeth alignment and position .. the treatment works just great so it's really worth it

thanks for the info

invisalign = invisible braces right? There's a local singer here in the philippines that always thank her dentist for her invisible braces every TV guesting
It costs a lot but it looks convenient for her since she's a singer

I know! It's fun to see the slow progress for better teeth and more confident smile lolz.
