There are retainers and then there are "retainers."  You are talking about actual tooth movement and not simply holding your teeth in place after finishing with braces.  It is possible that you can achieve what you want with a retainer-like appliance.  For this kind of service, which could take from a few months to over a year, you can expect to pay an appropriate fee.  In my office, for one arch, this would range from $600 to as much as $1,000, depending on the complexity and length of treatment.  I understand that you are just looking for an idea, but I don't want you to think you can get what you are looking for for $100-200 either.\n\nInvisalign would probably work also, but at 3-to-4 times the cost.

Do you mean what insurance companies provide policies that include braces?\n\nGenerally, any dental insurance company will cover braces if you pay the premiums on a policy that has that level of coverage. \n\nTry Delta Dental. http://www.deltadental.com/Public/index.jsp

call 1-800-DENTIST ...seriously, I am not being a smart-ass!!!  Dial this number and they should be able to help you find a dentist or periodontist that is in your area that will hopefully accept your payment method.

Hello, before i can give you definite answers i need some more information, but will try my best with what you've said.\n\nFirstly, the government in the UK has DRASTICALLY cut down the number of orthodontic problems we can treat on the health service. Now, only severe problems can be treated free of charge on the NHS and there are quotas which we have to meet. Once we reach are quota there is no more funding available!\n\nThe 3 year waiting list you are talking about, is that with a local dentist or through a hospital?\n\nYou should check out the British Orthodontic Societys website which is http://new.bos.org.uk a dentist registered with them should have sufficent credentials. Also look out for  the qualification MOrth which means the dentist has undergone specialist training in orthodontics (the science of braces!)\n\nLastly, getting them done abroad and asking a dentist to do the "check ups" over here is almost impossible. A dentist agreeing to do that would be opening themselves up to alot of problems... what if the ortho isnt what u wanted, what if the treatment plan is incorrect.. who are u going to blame?

Contact your local or state dental association and and see if there are any dentists who provide free or reduced cost care for low-income, disabled or senior patients.\n\nCall your local health department and ask about health centers that provide dental care for free or on a sliding scale.\n\nYour local United Way may also be aware of such a clinic.  In some areas, you can reach them now by dialing 2-1-1 for "non-emergency information."\n\nGo to a dental school, if there is one near you, for reduced costs.\n\nCheck http://www.toothwoman.net to see if low-cost or free dental services are available near you.\n\nCheck http://bphc.hrsa.gov and choose "Find a Health Center" to see if there is a low-cost clinic near you.\n\nYou might also check into:\nhttp://www.prosper.com

I've had a customer of mine say that you can do the same as braces just by pushing on your teeth with your fingers, because that is all that the braces do. Of course if they are bad it will take some time. But if you are alone and watching tv or whatever, just try pushing gently on them. Maybe after a years time there might be an improvement.\n\nYou could always go see about getting braces. I know a lot of adults that gets them. Thre are payment plans to help.

Please contact your state dental association and ask about participating in "Donated Dental Services," which is a charity care program designed specifically for patients who are financially compromised due to medical problems.  Free care exists if you know how to ask for it.  Unfortunately, D.D.S. does not operate in all areas of the country, but hopefully there will be an office near you.\n\nLook in the Yellow Pages under "American Dental Association" and you will find your local listing or you can click on this link:\n\nhttp://www.nfdh.org/DDS.html

My son has cerebral palsy and needs braces to help him walk.  My health insurance won't pay for them, so I spent the $1500 on new braces.

The invisible braces cost alot more then wire braces and you still have to go to the dentist regularly. Invisible braces you basicly manage on your own but you do have to go in for check ups. Some insurance companies do pay for braces if you are over 19 no older than 25 in school and covered on your parents insurance.

My mother had the same problem because she was on SS. Look in the phone book and surrounding areas and call each and every dentist. Ask them if they accept payment plans. Also, call your nearest Department of human services and ask them if they refer you to someone. Have you thought of traveling. In Austin, Texas you can get them through a program. I will give you the link below. Also if you go farther south, you can find them way cheap, like $500.00. Towards Mexico. Good Luck!
