Is it possible to switch Orthodontists mid-treatment?

moni92Aug 2, 2013
I am moving to Canada after about a month where getting braces can cost around $5000 and I am in India where getting braces will cost around $300. Should i get braces here in India and continue treatment in canada? How much will getting treatment from new orthodontists cost(when i already have braces fixed). How much money approx. will it save? Thanks
