In Reply to: Braces in Bali posted by cazzxf on Saturday, 28. June 2008 at 07:27 Bali Time:
I know someone who lives in Bali who has just had braces put on, sorry I can't remember the prices but i do remember it being heaps cheaper than in Australia (Both my children had braces, so i was able to compare)
Have you thought it through? What about regular visits for tightening? what about regular visits if a bracket pops or something goes wrong? I am thinking no orthodontist in Australia would do all these follow ups and I am sure it would be expensive to go back to Bali every time something needs doing. Usually the orthodontist who puts them on likes to follow through with the whole treatment right to the end, including the retaining process.
Just my thoughts.
If your child needs them for the 2nd time, were they done correctly the first time? Was the retaining process followed, I know with my children I had to keep reminding them of this process, it was hard but an important process for the future of the treatment.
