The braces our clinic uses are fixed and removable. The suitability of the application of these braces is better guided by the orthodontist after the initial check-up of the patient.
The braces cost is the most irritating aspect that brings a barrier to the treatment process. To cope with this, the orthodontist in Harwood Heights accepts many discounts and payment plans that reduce the overall treatment cost.
