I am looking for a orthodontist for braces for my daughter. I have shopped around and can't find anyone cheaper than $5,000. She doesn't need anything...

Took my kids to Brightside Bright Side Dental. They have locations all over the Metro D area; not sure where the closest is to you. They have payment plans through Care Credit and are very friendly! http://www.brightsidedental.com/general-dentistry/same-day-emergency-dentistry/?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%2Aemergency

We go to Dr Munk in Clarkston, he uses the Damon system and we love it! It costs a lil more the 5,000 but so worth it

My children go to Dr. AJ at http://www.mychildsteeth.com/ Great job and payment plan. Honestly though, $5000 sounds about the average.

Try Sears dental, my daughter found them to be one of the most reasonable.

I got my braces from Wesley orthdontics.. I shopped around a lot, Dr. Wesley is great and they have a zero interest payment plan! I highly recommend him!!
Robin K. replied:
We are going to Dr Kehoe in Romeo. We're paying $5100, but he does interest free payments. If you go with the early appt club, you get 5% back at the end. Not much but it cut out 1.5 payments.
Pam G. replied:
My boys go to Dr. Kehoe in Romeo...they were competitive costwise. They also offer discounts for upfront payment and a brunch club if you make all of your appointments between 9-2. Payment plans available too.
Rosie J. replied:
U of M Dental school wasn't any cheaper for us and you can't miss an appointment and they only do stuff on their school schedule, it wasn't worth the hassle. Dr Niazi at the Elite Smile Center is great.
Amy S. replied:
I agree with Dr. Badalamente!!!!
Corin S. replied:

Cynthia Bailey is great! Both my kids got theirs there and one of them needed an expander. I'm very happy with their service and product.

Dr. AJ like Cyndee said is really great. I shopped around a lot. The office is very nice, office staff nice. We love them
Shelly B. replied:
Depending on how close you are, check with either the University of Detroit dental School or there is a school in Ann Arbor area...U of M that has a dental school. Much, much cheaper and great experience!!
Cheryl R. replied:
We use Wesley Ortho in Richmond. Really like them and they offer a payment plan.
