Please do not believe what these people say, they will do uneccessary work just to make a dollar. I first was told that my 8 year old daughter needed an expander as well as phase 1 & 2 of braces....could not be given a straight answer as to my cost. I was also told there were some areas of her teeth that were starting to "get sticky" and that they could treat them with-out novacane and it wouldn't hurt as bad if we did it NOW. I had a bad feeling so...I went to another Dentist for a second oppinion. I took my daughter to 2 other Dentist and was told she has beautiful teeth. She has a slight overbite, but I could wait to see what her grown up teeth do.
