Case Description
My daughter has recently seen an orthodotist, who stated that she needs a frenotomy. She does have a large opening between her top two teeth. Would it be best to wait some time after this procedure before going back to the orthodotist to see if her space will close up. She has an over bite & she needs a Herbts applicance also. Will it save us some money to wait or should be go ahead & go back for the orthodonist right after the procedure. Also, What is the expect price of a frenotomy. My daughter is 11 she will be 12. She is a singer & I don't want to mess that up. Thanks for you help.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
