Protruding lower jaw
Hi, my lower jaw is a bit in front of the upper jaw. I need an underbite correction. I asked for the treatment costs and they suggested braces for 1.5 years and the cost 20000. Well, I wanted to know if I can get this done a bit lesser and reasonable cost.

Hi orthodontic treatment is a specialty treatment and needs to be done in stages using different thickness n flexibility of wires to achieve an aesthetic bite. This process would take anywhere between a yr to a yr n a half provided the patient complies with the treating specialist and reports for appointments on time. Once tooth movement is complete a holding phase of atleast 6 months is required for the teeth to be stabilised in their new position. Treatments done faster might require more forces to be put on the teeth which might not be good for the teeth in the long run. Alternatively, there are certain surgical procedures which can enhance the speed of tooth movement but these might not be recommended for all d cases. Treatment costs cover the cost of brackets n wires used for the treatment and quality specialty treatment should not be decided only based on d cost but the benefits and outcome of the treatment
