Things we do for love.

Abanabaoghogho:

Nope, it's 250k, I'm about to fix one, I'd advise anyone to go to a teaching hospital, cos it's very expensive in a private hospital or dental clinic, more like 350k and above there.

It also depends on the type of braces though... I learnt some could be up to 1M.

The one of 1M or more is more like the one Peter of psquare did for himself, they'll file off most of your teeth and put caps or whatever they call it to make it look almost perfect, but you'll have to be careful of what you eat for the rest of your life, so I don't advise on that one.

Ask me about braces.
Im wearing mine presently

Dentalgist:
Whether young or old, there is never a late time to discuss with your dentist on the need for Braces. Scattered or crooked teeth have profound effects on individuals’ self-esteem, confidence, relationships. The negative impacts are countless. The good news is that not ‘well-arranged’ set of teeth can be arranged, thanks to the Orthodontists, dentists specialized in the arrangement of teeth.

In this write-up, we have highlighted 6 reasons why you may need Braces:

1. Crossbites
Crossbites occur when the jaw deviates to one side with an improper fit of the upper and lower teeth from left to right or front to back.

Crossbites can lead to worn and chipped teeth, jaw pain and asymmetric growth of the jaws. Left untreated, the crossbite will require more extensive treatment later in life and significant jaw surgery in the most-severe cases.




2. Underbites
When the lower jaw sits forward of the upper jaw.

Do your lower teeth overlap your top front teeth when you smile? If so, you may have an underbite a dentist can correct. If left untreated, an underbite can increase your risk of injury while eating or talking.

When the lower jaw sits forward of the upper jaw.

3. Open bites

When the front teeth don’t touch.

Smile in front of the mirror. Is there a noticeable gap between your upper and lower teeth? If so, you may have an openbite. Patients with openbites often have difficulty eating or speaking. They may also have embarrassing habits, such as tongue thrusting. If you have an openbite, we can correct your smile with teeth braces.

4. Deep bites
A deep overbite or deep bite occurs when the lower front teeth bite too close or into the gum tissue behind the upper front teeth in the roof of the mouth. … A deep bite can damage the health and function of your jaw and may cause damage to your teeth and gums.

5. Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth can make it difficult to brush and floss. Fortunately, your dentist orthodontist can get you started on the right orthodontic treatment for your smile


6. Spaces Between Teeth
Closing the gaps in your smile is more than just a cosmetic concern, it’ll also help protect your oral health. If your teeth are widely spaced apart, food particles can get stuck along your gums to cause bad breath, gum disease, and other issues.

Plaque and tartar love to hide in between teeth, especially if they’re irregularly spaced.

what is the "average" cost ofinstalling braces, say for open bite?
l am not talking of exact amount, if you dont want to state that for any reason, just say what amount one should hold in his purse, if a correction is required foe a ten year old boy.
Thanks.

Op why did you post the mouths of seunmomoh, lalasticlala, mynd44 and Ishilove without their consent?

Its nice on post but when they tell you the price you will be like 'I dont need it am just asking for a friend'

Last year i carry myself jejely after thinking about how to leave office so i booked appointment with one of the dental clinics we use.

In my mind i just needed polishing or maybe scaling. I got there and receive the service i want but the Oliver twist in me told me to ask so braces cos i feel it will look cute. The dentist said i should bring extra 150k that my HMO did not cover the service
I said ok i just want to ask, he smiled and said OK.
I just carry my bag jejely dey go house.

I love braces

Have always wondered how it will feel getting head from a girl with braces



Just thinking out loud

Oh wow.. When I enquired they said, it's marble or sth... That's its kinda transparent.

There is no disappearance. It's about your health. It's not a commodity that you can be tossing around. I have said it severally that so many things determine the treatment cost: the expertise of the dentist, location, peculiarity of the conditions etc. If I tell you putting a brace costs 400k, and you get to your dentist, he/she says 600 or 700k. From my little experience, if you try getting a treatment for cheap, it's highly likely you fall victim of a quack. That's why I don't give treatment prices. I can always recommend clinics that I am confident you will get the best.

Not withstanding all the above, which could be true or just clever deflection, l a sure you also know that there is something called "average pricing" in everything. yes, everything.
It does not mean that is what my Doctor or your Doctor will charge, it is just a fair, working figure.
Anytime l see professionals who are very coy about their pricing, l know l should be very wary about them.
In the States and Europe, almost all professional put an "average price" on their product, to cover basic cost.
You might now enter the facility and they tell you, if you want this extra/options, you will add xyz-amount to the basic price they advertised.

its like IVF treatment.
In the past, the practitioners were as hideous as you are now, with their pricing models and because of that , a lot of Nigerians just ignored that very important field of medicine.
But of-recent, they have learned their lessons (one operator actually openned their yansh and took all the available customers at that point in time ) and are more upfront with their pricing models.
Right now, there are people who paid #550K and got their baby through IVF and at the same time, the cost can go up as high as #2M and still counting, depending on the "options/extras" that a patient might need or want....but they will give you a price range, an average or working figure like, just hold at least 550K in your purse, it wont be less than that.

To say if it is Cheap => Quackery ..............or if Expensive = Top Quality is at best, naive because it is not always true.

All this Niaja-bullshyte just dont cut it.
