Orthodontics Treatment

multitasking

Hi.. our dentist advised us that my son might need teeth braces.. from what i know.. mahal ang ganitong treatment dito sa AU... our current private health insurance does not cover these.. im thinking kung ano kaya ang magandang diskarte para medyo mapamura ang gastos.. kasi kung i include namin sa private health insurance..may 1 year waiting period pa...

i hope may mag share ng tips..

thanks...

My son's braces just came off a few weeks ago so I can share from experience. The ortho package fee for the braces was $6500. I initially paid a downpayment of $1700 and the rest in $800 quarterly instalments. I got $2400 rebate from my private health insurance which is the lifetime limit per person for major dental as per our policy.. But then he had to have surgery to extract 4 wisdom teeth and 4 molars which cost me another $3500 which was not covered by my health insurance as it was considered major dental and he already maxed out his lifetime limit.
