WORTH IT
I have always wanted to fix my smile, however, I was quoted ($7,000) USA currency and I was not able to afford it. So for over 17 years I was very ashamed of my smile.
Last august I was working at a local company here in Texas, where I live and I while talking and complaining about how much I would love to travel back and forth to my home country (The Dominican Republic) in order to afford my braces it was not very cost affective after all once you sume up the price of the plain tickets, stay, etc.
My previous boss mentioned to me "How about going to Mexico" and I was like "Hell Nah" haha
Let me tell you, that it was the best thing I have ever done in my life. I am so glad I was finally able to take care of something that it was bothering me so much for such a long time and it only cost me $600.
Oh and the best part, it only took 8 month (I took 4-6 month without going) so I just removed them on 08/04.2017.
My doctor was great! He was amazing actually. Very understanding, specially when I didn't had the money to pay for my visits even though it was $70 (my husband & I) at times I didn't had it and since we own a Prius that helped a lot.
He is also very knowledgeable, accommodating, and very respectful.
I will. include some pictures of my teeth so you guys can see. Sorry I am just so exited!

Did you have to continue to travel to this dentist for your braces?
You teeth look great ☺️
Thank you love! I was so happy that I did it and which I had done it earlier. Even the perfil of my face changed.
Hello it has been over a year now since you removed them. How are they now?
My teeth are looking great. I am very happy with the results. I hated my gab. lol
I paid $600 for my treatment. It was in New Laredo, MX and I was able to drive there (about 3 hours) once per month which it wasn’t too bad.
