You can search for providers at: http://www.virginiapremier.com/home/search/providerSearch.jsp\n\nIt does not look like they provide dental insurance, so you would most likely need to pay for a dentist on your own and get a referral for surgery. There are orthodontic surgeons listed, you could start there.

There seems to be a great deal of misinformation here regarding traditional orthodontia and the new invisalign method. You will first need to be evaluated by an orthodontist. He or she will then decide if you even qualify. If your correction involves an overbite or will take longer than one year you will have to go with the traditional wires and brackets. The invisalign is only for minor adjustments that can be completed within a year. Either way you will continue to wear retainers for up to 10 years and if you follow all directions and are compliant with the retainers your teeth will not get "crooked" again with either type.

I'm going to assume you're talking about Sydney Australia. I looked at a few periodontists' websites in the area and found one that listed a few cosmetic procedures that are available.\nThough I've never heard of a periodontist also specializing in cosmetic dentistry, most do perform cosmetic procedures to a certain extent. I'd recommend asking your general dentist, or periodontist if that is who you usually see, if he or she could recommend someone in the area. Also you can browse the Australian Dental Association's website for some dentists that you may be interested in.

The first answer from Charles O was on regarding insurance and basic price for a dental visit however there is a very big difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist.  An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in straightening of the teeth be it for cosmetic reasons or necessity do to jaw problems etc...  If you have not seen a general dentist since you were 3 yrs old you definately need to start there.  At the initial exam expect to recieve a full set of xrays (usually 4 bitewings that will check for cavities inbetween the teeth and a panorex which is one large film that will show your jaws, sinuses, and roots and crowns of all your teeth including any wisdom teeth) You should also recieve a periodontal screening which is an exam using a tiny ruler that measures the space inbetween your tooth and gum. Six measurements around each tooth will be taken and used to evaluate your overall gum tissue health.  You may or may not get your teeth cleaned at the first visit depending on how much tartar and plaque are on your teeth and what the numbers from your periodontal screening indicate. (numbers from 1-3 are ideal and if many 4 + are present you will likely have to have a more extensive cleaning). Also the dentist will conduct a thorough exam of your teeth looking for cavities or potential problems.  An oral cancer screening should also be part of this examination.  After the dentist has seen you and made his treament plan he will let you know if you could be benifited from seeing an orthodontist.  \n\nAs for finding a dentist you can go to www.ada.org  and asking around is a great way to find a good DDS.  The ADA site is also a good resource for learing about what to expect from an exam and to answer some questions once you've had one.  Don't forget to check out the BBB website to run the name of any dentist you do see.  \n\nI hope this info helps you!!

For example: \nDental Hospital\nSukhumvit Soi 49\nBangkok\nTel.: + 66 2 260 50 00\nwww.dentalhospitalbangkok.com\nemail: dental@loxinfo.co.th\nI do not know if there exist a rating system for dentistry here. But I can confirm that they are good and much cheaper than USA/Europe. If you come for limited period in Thailand, you can ask them in advance for a short (intensive) program.

First you will have an evaluation by an orthodontist, his work will include the braces and the retainers. I would look at anywhere from $1500 to $3500. He will expect you to have your teeth cleaned and repair work done first. You will then be expected to have cleanings at least every 6 months and sometime 3 during your treatment. If you need to have any teeth extracted an oral surgeon will charge for that. Having the teeth bleached could range from $200 to over $1000. I would think you will need in the area of $6000. That is what the total of my work was and I had them put on 6 years ago. I must add that I am very pleased with the results. After having 5 of my nine children done I decided it was my turn. All associated people should now be able to go on nice vacations thanks to my payments over the years!

To get it done properly will cost few thousand pounds. On NHS I really wouldn`t recommend it if you want to look good and chew comfortably in the future. If you want good looking braces add a few hundred to the fee...

There is a good one in Midlothian. It is not that far from Chicago Heights. Maybe 30 mins. His name is Dr. Erlinder. (he is located on 147th street and Pulaski straight down I57 for you) I have gone to him for years. He is VERY good. He will also not do anything that he does not think you need. Explain to him what you need and he'll help you out.\nContact me if you need more info.

Hi,\n \nI appreciate that this isn't strictly speaking in South Yorkshire but a trip to Wakefield shouldn't take too long .\n\nI'm a Dental Hygienist in West Yorkshire, we refer a lot of our patients here for private work...\n\nhttp://www.horburydentalcare.co.uk/practice.html\n\n\nThere website has their private fee list on it, which seems more reasonable than you were quoted, I have seen some really good crowns on some of my patients that we have referred here.\n\nHope this helps, good luck in finding someone !

Looks like Auckland University would be a good place to go based on this news article:\nhttp://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/about/news/articles/2005/04/0012.cfm

Visit an orthodontist.  They have an appliance that can help.  If not treated, buck teeth, speech problems and low self esteem are all a factor.
