It's possible to get braces only for you upper teeth. Last I checked, braces in the Philippines cost around 30-40K pesos. I don't think this is an all out cost, this also includes regular check-ups and cleaning. Go to your dentist to get a more accurate quote.

There are retainers and then there are "retainers."  You are talking about actual tooth movement and not simply holding your teeth in place after finishing with braces.  It is possible that you can achieve what you want with a retainer-like appliance.  For this kind of service, which could take from a few months to over a year, you can expect to pay an appropriate fee.  In my office, for one arch, this would range from $600 to as much as $1,000, depending on the complexity and length of treatment.  I understand that you are just looking for an idea, but I don't want you to think you can get what you are looking for for $100-200 either.\n\nInvisalign would probably work also, but at 3-to-4 times the cost.

Get braces and when you're in your house, you'll be straightening them at home. Voila!

I had braces top and bottom. It didn't take long to fit them, 45 mins at the most. The orthodontist will glue the little metal bits onto each tooth and put clamps around the back teeth and then attach the wires with little coloured bands to each tooth and insert the wire into the clamps.

You can, but it is not a good idea.  In the process of the tooth decaying, it will effect the jaw, and other teeth.  It would be better to remove the tooth first, then begin braces.

NOPE !!! don't worry about it, my boyfriend and I both wear braces and we have never gotten stuck. Just be careful not to hit each other when you are going to kiss, you might hurt each other that way. ;)

in the neighborhood of 5000 with both arches but since you already had them- you might check with your old orthodontist. possibly, he may have alternate ideas for your treatment such as a retainer

If your teeth are not really messed up, you might be a candidate for Invisalign.  Go to http://www.invisalign.com/generalapp/us/ and look them over.  You can get the name of a dentist near you.  Maybe your own dentist is already Invisalign certified.\n~

after all (or most) your "adult" teeth are in,braces can be put on. there is no age or (grade)to  wait for. adult braces have become popular but  its best to have it done young.so once your baby teeth are done and new ones have fully grown in..thats the best time

they might. but remeber your braces will be on the outside of your teeth. not behind them. so you should be ok.

nope.  just part of the process of having braces.  it'll be worth it.

Upper and lower arches will run an avg of 4000.00, of course you can find them cheaper, but be careful where you go. I would recommend a board certified orthodontist if you have some major crowding, spacing or bite issues. If it is for some minor movement or minor cosmetic movement you could try a general practice dentist and it would probably be less expensive. always ask friends,relatives or call a dental office you trust and ask to speak with the hygienist. Ask her off the record who she would go to for braces and who she would not. They see the crappy work of some orthodontist and know who they are. The key is "off the record". Hope this helps

i also have braces but i'm 15 and have had them for 2yrs. but i have every color and even glow-in-the-dark. personaly i dont really care for two different colors at once. Silver is a great color and if you get a chain then almost every color looks great.

It will be hard to find many dentists that are willing to do "lingual" braces.  They are very hard to place on patIEnts and very hard to keep on patients.  Due to their placement on the backs of the teeth, you are very prone to biting the brackets off.  They are not very comfortable to your tongue and a nightmare to keep clean.  Depending how much movement you need to achieve, invisible braces may work (ie. Invisalign).  they are clear plastic trays that are changed every two weeks that "slowly" move your teeth into place.  However, they are not ideal for every case.  They are move aesthetic that conventional metal braces, but they have their limitations.  You may also want to consider ceramic braces.  They are placed on the front of your teeth similar to conventional metal braces, but they are tooth colored.  In my opinion, braces (whether metal or ceramic) can achieve your desired results usually faster than the invisible braces and they can control the movement of the teeth better.  As for retention. if you do the invisible braces, your last tray will become your "Permanent" Retainer.  With braces, your Orthodontist will probably suggest a conventional acrylic retainer with a metal wire in front.  Now this is not as esthetic; however, it allows your Orthodontist to "fine tune" your teeth even after the braces have come off!  Hope that this proves helpful!
