It's two separate fees. We've been with this doc for YEARS; he did my orthodontics and my husband's, before the kids came along. In fact, the last two or three rounds he gave us what I call a 'frequent wired' discount for returning... It probably wouldn't matter how it was split up, billing-wise, as the insurance only pays x amount on orthodontics anyway. There is a *slight* chance the Flute Player will not need a second round; she has no skeletal abnormalities and no wisdom teeth, so if the rest of her molars come in properly she might be ok.<BR/><BR/>We can hope! ;)Lisa Lareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516986664460840579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18642968.post-86878294008748637332009-02-16T17:07:00.000-06:002009-02-16T17:07:00.000-06:00good luck on that coat.

It is so frustrating when things don't go together easily. <BR/>Regarding the braces, Did the doc mention a second charge? my kids ortho did a quote for beginning thru end of treatment, whatever it took. He also used the same dollar quote for all chidren in the family. We lucked out that the child who needed the most treatment was the younger brotherMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427304460897364021noreply@blogger.com
