I need some recommendations for a good orthodontist. My son is going to one currently but my youngest needs braces. We went to a consultation yesterday to another orthodontist on the referral of our dentist where they wanted us to shell out $400 out of pocket over a matter of weeks before even telling us what the braces were going to cost. That doesn't seem right to me. When my son got braces 2 years ago, we went to a few consultations where they told us upfront what the prices were going to be along with the treatment plan and we chose based on who we all felt most comfortable with. Have things changed that much in 2 years? I plan on getting a consult with our current orthodontist but we always get second and/or third opinions on things like this. Thoughts, experiences, etc? Thanks in advance! We are somewhat new to the area and don't know whats available.
