Hi, really liked the video, it was helpful. I got my braces fixed on August last year. I will be moving to Toronto from Asia for study purposes this March. Im a bit concerned about whether i would find an orthodontist who could continue my case. 😢😢😢 What would be your suggestion/ do’s and dont’s???
@@zubeda89 Im having a similar issue as you. (Moving to Ireland from Nigeria with braces. Have you found out if orthodontist commonly take on people who switch? Also just wondering if the cost will go up since its a more financially stable country or is it not much of an issue since the braces are already installed and that the bulk of the cost.(So the treatment would not cost a lot or will it?
@@abdulmalikolusekun2620 hey ,i have a similar case, I'm thinking of getting braces here in India but I'll have to move to thr US for year ,for further studies but I'm not sure how things will work out there and i don't have any idea about thr cost too, did u find a solution??
hello, i just wanted to know if this is still applicable if i were to move in a different country, not just a state? plus the fact that the braces were just installed for about 5 months, what's the best thing to do if that's the case? thank you in advance for your help!
Good question! Moving out of the country is a little more challenging. Thanks to Google, it’s easier to find new orthodontists in the place patients are moving to. The overall process would be the same - send transfer records and notes, have a new consultation, etc. T main thing we don’t know much about is how orthodontic fees work outside the US. We’d be interested in learning!
@@GluckOrthodontics Hellow doctor! I'm 18, my teeth are a little crooked and i was thinking of getting braces soon. Iam from India and I'll be starting my orthodontic treatment here only, but I'll have to move to the US for further studies in some months ,and I'll stay there for a year . So i was wondering that how will i be able to continue the treatment. Also what will the fee structure there, please help me out!!
@@lshitabhardwaj Thank you for the question! Once you arrive in the US, you'll want to find an orthodontist in your new city to whom you can transfer your care. It would be very helpful if you can bring copies of your orthodontic records (photos, x-rays, treatment notes) from your original orthodontist in India. Good luck!
I need to get braces tomorrow but after two months i switch to new city, so can you suggest me can i get braces tomorrow or get braces in the new city??
Hello doctor! I’m on my 14/45 aligners and the treatment is supposed to be a 7month 4 days change. I git the treatment from canada and now moving to Seattle in July. I’ve paid everything in full up front and am thinking to transfer my plan. What would you suggest?
Great question. We’d suggest having a discussion with your current orthodontist about your plans and working something out with them. If you end up transferring your care, they may refund part of your fee if the treatment isn’t complete.
I’m planning to move to an out of state college. I would be home every winter and summer. Would u recommend changing orthodontists or just go to my appointments each time I go back home?
Great question. Are you wearing braces or aligners? It is much easier to manage aligner cases from a distance, while braces cases usually are better treated with the orthodontist in the same town. We'd suggest having a discussion with your current orthodontist to see what they recommend as well.
You’re welcomeee ❤️❤️ I love your videos!!! But I do have one quick question if you’re able to answer! I have both permanent retainers and clear ones but my permanent one is lose on one side. I was just wondering if that would like mess anything up 😩 haven’t been able to get it fixed with everything going on. I’m just scared my teeth will shift after years of hard work and braces 😭
Great question. My suggestion is to keep wearing your clear retainer over the bottom teeth until you can get in to the office to have the permanent one repaired. That should make sure your bottom teeth stay straight. Hope this helps!
Hi. If I choose Invisalign and move in the middle of the treatment, will I have to go to a new doc or will it suffice if I keep changing the sets by myself as per the old doctor's instructions
Great question! It really depends on the circumstances of your move. Most of the time if a patient is moving far away and can't make it back for regular appointments, then we will transfer their care to a new provider. If it's somewhere close (or the patient is a college student, for example, and planning to come home a lot during their breaks) then we can continue treating them. Hope this helps.
I put the down payment down for my daughter's Invisalign. The Dr told me he would not order her Invisalign until she got her teeth pulled. I told him now that I didn't want her teeth to be pulled, but he already went ahead and ordered her Invisalign which is now at the office for pickup. He told me that I have to pay for the intake or something like that which is $1900, then he could transfer to another orthodontist. I'm literally paying the monthly fee, but haven't received any invisalign. The other orthodontist has said that she does not need to pull her teeth. Does this sound accurate?
Thank you for the comment! That's a tough situation. We can't really comment on the topic of whether teeth need to be pulled or not. But, we have had a situation in which we order Invisalign for a patient, and paid Invisalign their fee. A few weeks later, the patient decided not to move forward with treatment. We refunded the patient everything they paid, and asked discussed the situation with our Invisalign rep. The rep was able to refund our fee to them, and everyone was back to even. Not sure if that can happen in your situation though. Since we are a high volume Invisalign provider, we are able to have a little more leeway with stuff like that. What you may end up having to do is pay the initial orthodontist for the Invisalign fee, then transfer care to the other orthodontist. Since you already paid for Invisalign, they may discount their fee for that amount. Good luck!
can you help me please?ive had braces for 2 and a half years and my teeth aren’t straight at all and I have gaps in my back teeth and they don’t even put the wire in back teeth
@@aroTheKidd We would suggest having their office take a set of photos of your teeth, then reviewing them with your orthodontist to discuss your specific concerns.
Good question! You don't necessarily need to get them removed. The key is finding an orthodontist in the new country to which you are moving who can take over your care.
Hi! Great videos! Just wanted to ask - it's been 6months since I am off my retainers,now my teeth havr begun to shift,so I wore my retainers ( plastic invisible one) and accidentally I bit into them, there's a huge crack in it. Since it's lockdown ,we are stuck. What to do? I am not able to contact my orthodontist.Can I use super glue?
Thank you for the question. Does the retainer still "fit" even though there is a crack in it? If so, then I suggest wearing it a few hours a day until your orthodontist is open again and can make you a new one. I don't recommend using superglue as that may alter the retainer to put a force on the tooth, and make them move. Good luck!
Im having a issue i would like some advice on please. Im moving to Ireland from Nigeria with braces. Have you found out if orthodontist commonly take on people who switch? Also just wondering if the cost will go up since its a more financially stable country or is it not much of an issue since the braces are already installed and that the bulk of the cost.(So the treatment would not cost a lot or will it?
Thanks for the question! We can’t speak to the differences in cost from Nigeria to Ireland, but it is common for their to be a fee associated with transferring care to a new provider and completing the treatment.
