Question ID: 733532
I need an orthodontist that replaces my lost Mouth Retainer (the one
you have to use after Braces) in Israel, for $150 or less...
I payed for them back at my country $100. The lesser value somebody
founds me, the bigger extra money I give.
And I mean, ASAP. I urgently need those.
Just tell me who makes it at that or lower price and his/her number. I
can travel all over the country (Jerusalem, tel aviv, etc)

I'm looking for both retainers. The up and down of the mouth.
My orthodontist doesn't have the mold in my country.

I agree with the money offered, now I will pay $15 to whoever finds me
somebody in israel who replaces me my lost retainers for $150 or less.
Meaning that $150 includes the whole process of making the mold,
producig the retainers and fitting them.

I've heard people telling they have payed $150 at regular price, but
most orthodontists I called keep telling me it's about $230.

BTW I have no dental insurance whatsoever. I have Femi Premium, and I
think it doesn't cover that kind of lost.

Answering a question like this is impossible without investing much
time and work (phone calls in Israel, etc.). You might want to have a
look at the Google Answers pricing guide:
http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html

In addition, it might help if you'd mention what kind of dental
insurance - if any - you have.

What about contacting you original orthodontist?  Perhaps the mold
(form) has been kept and a new Retainer made from it, so that he can
send it to you to be fitted by someone in Israel.
