Orthodontics: I'm in the wrong business.

[Limited GM]

Few yrs ago, I had to have an emergency root canal. As I'm sitting there looking out at his brand new AMG that I'll be paying the note on, I ask how many he does a year? He told me, I did the math. $280K a yr. not a bad business.

That's just for that one procedure as well.

It isn't like that is take home money. Not saying they dont make good money but that procedure has to pay for rent, how many people in support, payroll tax, utilities, all the medical equipment (and as much of a tool whore as I am dentists put me to shame) and a few other things I am forgetting.

Damn, I haven't been to the dentist in a few years... I need to get in there soon. Hopefully my dental coverage at my new job kicks in soon, so I can finally get a check up.

I didn't say it was. Every business has expense, but that career beats the hell outta throwing papers. Or any career of anyone in my circle of shooters.

i cant believe they make you guys get in the plan like a lawyer on retainer

i got mine straightened when i was 25, $4200 cash no insurance, metal came off in 18 months, extremely quick if you look at my before and after, 4 sets of invisialign after that for final adjustments and as retainers for permanent position, all included in the price. they had to re-attatch 2 different times a bracket, one i broke eating steak (prohibited during brackets process), broke a wire too, no charge. i have another follow up on current set of invisialigns next month, still no charge.

i dont work for them nor do i get cash back. just want to pass along a good ortho

unterseher ortho 104th & federal
