It ended 7 years ago, so I don’t remember the exact cost, but I wanted orthodontic treatment for a protruding mouth, so I had 4 premolars extracted and then got braces.
I was very satisfied with the result, but while I was undergoing treatment, the pain was quite severe. I think it depends on how sensitive you are, but anyway, in the end, even if I could go back, I’d do it again.
