Daughter looking for a reasonable (!) price orthodontist in the Dublin area. I believe she should go north to somewhere like Newry where dental costs overall appear to be much cheaper. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

Looked into this a year ago for my son, and every orthodontist came back with a figure of around 4.5k. More in some of the more affluent areas. Going up north, you have to offset the cost of going up every 6 weeks, and the time it takes..
In the end, my son broke his jaw in a football match, and is getting the whole lot done for free now through the public hospital in James's.. Every cloud has a silver lining!
thanks for your reply Chrisboy. I think going up North to somewhere like Newry only take about an hour and a half on the motorway so that's not bad if the difference is in hundreds of euro. Will check out both and come back here with prices so it may be of use to someone else at some stage.
Currenty paying €3,950 for both arches of eldest daughter's braces. Costs €2,250 for one arch. Structured payments as follows. Initial lump of €550 plus €200 per month 'til it is paid off in 17 months time. 20% tax relief via MED1.
Thought of going North but both of us are working and it wasn't practical. Dentist is based in Dublin 14. Happy enough so far but it is early days.
