Can braces be used to correct overbite?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a child who has an overbite. I need braces. However, I have the type of parent who does not ever take her kids to the dentist, but I recently turned 16 and got a job to pay for my braces. But how much will they cost? How much will my insurance cover? Also, what paperwork will I need to take to the dentist's office? Can I get an appointment without an adult? How long will I have to wait to get the braces? I know I have asked a lot of questions, and I am sorry about that. I need these braces, and if I know all this information, my parents will consider taking me to the dentist. Kindly help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Well, this is common in every family. You can book appointments online on your own. It will be costly for you, but since you can have insurance, the dentist will give you a form to fill in the information about insurance and personal details. You can get half money from your parents and half from your savings. Braces will be given in a week or less.
At last, you should take one family member with you during the procedure. Take your identity card and everything on paper with you along with photographs. Keep me updated about the improvements.
I hope this information will help you. Do get back in case of any further queries.
Thank you.
