"Hi my name is tawnie, im twelve and i have a lot of questions for you. were is your destistry located? do you take medicaid? how do you get rid of a HUGE overbite? how many times do i have to visit you in a year? how much is it goin to cost us to have braces or the invislign or whatever is the best?"

Dr Pang: Tawnie!   All good questions and very important for your health!  And, you are only twelve?!   You are truly bright for your age.  ;-)

Since cost is one of your concerns, my advice to you is to locate a dental school in your area.    Usually, the fees at a school are the lowest and yet you are still assured quality supervised care.  You're orthodontist is the best to answer your other questions.  There are various techniques that can be applied to correct an overbite and which one is used depends on the individual patient.   Good luck and thanks for your questions.
