I had a jaw widener for one year, then braces for 3 years, then a retainer for another, then braces for another 2 years. I have to wear a retainer at night, and behind my teeth are permanent braces. A total of $7000 CDN or so, and my teeth are fine. Its worth it man if you are willing to put in the time. And the insurance company will pay for around 60% of the costs.
