Orthodontists Suck

I've never had a cavity. My teeth are straight, and they should be since I went through the pains of braces and retainers when I was young. My last trip to the dentist they recommended that I go see an orthodontist again because my bite is off. Apparently my first one did a crappy job so now things should be fixed if I don't want my teeth to wear down at a young age (and as much eating as I do, that would be bad). So I went to the ortho today. The short of it? $5900 for treatment that takes 18-24 months. The worst part? Since I'm over 19, insurance won't pay for much if any of it. Decisions Decisions...

That's awful!! What did your last ortho do wrong that got your bite so messed up? I will probably get braces too...but the invisible kind...after graduation. Maybe I should have invested in my teeth instead of the elliptical? haha
