Don't do it! If you're tempted, read on: I had braces 20 years ago, so my teeth were in good alignment except for the bottom right quadrant, where I had an implant placed and 3 or 4 teeth had shifted. I wanted them put back. Of course, no matter where you go, they will tell you that you need wires on all of them. So I ponied up money to have wires all around. It was "$2600 for braces" plus $80/month. Quite steep in my opinion, for usual prices in Mexico. After all the brackets are glued, then you get the real cost, but never itemized. For me, I estimated that it would be around $4600. The treatment is not individualized to your particular bone structure or any slight irregularities, but Dr. Abularach uses a series of different sized, pre-tempered, purchased archwires. This creates 2 rows of nice-looking teeth that may or may not fit together correctly in your mouth. In my case, I can't close my mouth. Top and bottom rest on eye teeth and there is no way to bite or get any kind of occlusion on either molars or front teeth. It feels like a tossed salad and looks even more hideous. Even though I've been telling him for weeks that they don't fit together, no occlusion, can't bite (how many ways can you communicate this?), he kept telling me that "it's normal", "it will change", stuff like that. Sorry, it's a horror and so much worse than my teeth have ever been in my life, and especially what I walked in with. I decided to cut my losses and will now have to find a real orthodontist to fix this mess. In addition to the tossed teeth salad, he talked me into replacing an old crown with a porcelain one. During the acid etching step, before gluing, he stepped over to another chair cubby and was schmoozing another customer. This left the acid on my tooth for minutes, not seconds. It is now useless for chewing, at least until I get a root canal to stop the pain.
