Ouch x2$ 230 and 2.5 hours, at the dentist.
And I have to go back in a couple of weeks and shell out another $200 bucks. They're making a mouthguard for me; apparently, I've been grinding my teeth---or tooth, to be specific. Just one molar, on one side, is getting ground down. So I need to nip that in bud before it does any real damage.

I had braces as a teenager $3000

Major difference between the US and UK. I had major surgery on my teeth when I was a kid and it didn't cost my parents a thing. All parts of the NHS service.
