I see a lot of back and forth questions on here..so I figured I would share my experience too. My braces were $3700 and are clear brackets on top. My bicuspid extractions were like $550 or something, but my insurance covered most of it so I paid $150 out of pocket. I have an overbite but my top teeth were originally pretty straight, and not sticking out as far as this, and my bottom teeth were a train wreck.. VERY CROWDED.. im about 8mo. along.
@tybash My lip is okay so far, I havent noticed any changes in how my face looks or anything bc of the extractions.I am satisfied with it because i knew having teeth pulled was inevitable.as for the braces, my bottom teeth are straightening out quite nicely. My insurance didnt cover anything for the braces but when I had my teeth pulled the nurse handed me a paper showing me what the procedure costs, what my insurance covered, and what I had to pay.. so i just paid and got them pulled :)
@tybash yea i guess i wont know until my braces come off, but i dont see it making a huge difference.. I could be wrong though. My sister had 4 extractions with her braces and that was 8 years ago and her teeth are perfect still..and her face doesnt look weird or anything
@iMixiu i still have my braces on, it'll be exactly 2 years in august. i'm getting them off in a couple months. so i guess you can say approximately two years
@iMixiu well my teeth on the top row were similar to this, but my bottom were pretty straight. i had to extract 4 of my premolars because my jaw wasnt aligned so it was a similar process like in the video
@iMixiu I only had the higher tooth problem. Lol it's okaaay I had many questions before I got braces too. I think you should go to an orthodontist for them to do a consultation for you! [:

@featheranne69
How is the lip? are you satisfied with the procedure and how much did your insurance offered to cover before you knew the cost of the procedure?

Thanks, my little bro is going to fix his overbite, his teeth are pretty straight. I was worried the extracting might ruin his whole face.

Don't do this - have your dental arch widened instead - extraction orthodontics can cause havoc and is NOT worth the risk
