Malocclusion is when the upper and lower teeth do not meet properly — crowding, an overbite (upper jaw forward) or an underbite (lower jaw forward). It is usually inherited and can make chewing hard and affect the smile and facial profile.
How it is diagnosed:
- Dental examination
- Dental or skull X-rays and bite models
How it is corrected: braces or clear aligners, sometimes tooth extraction for crowding, and jaw (orthognathic) surgery for severe skeletal cases. Treatment works best in younger patients. Compare the priced options above.

When flying pays off — the break-even line
Modeled previewThe go/no-go math everyone does on a napkin, done transparently: price here plus trip costs from United States (change in the header) — flying beats staying when your quote at home is above the line.
| Treatment option | Price here | + Trip (est.) | Flying pays above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Retainers 5-night modeled trip | from $113 | ≈ $2,110 | ≈ $2,220 |
| Braces 5-night modeled trip | from $2,080 | ≈ $2,110 | ≈ $4,190 |
| Clear Aligners 5-night modeled trip | from $2,380 | ≈ $2,110 | ≈ $4,490 |
Trip = flights, hotel, transport and medication from the same model as the all-in estimates — labeled estimates, not quotes. If your quote at home is below the line, staying home wins on pure price; quality, waits and urgency are separate calls — see the MCI index above.

A second opinion changes the plan often enough that specialists expect to be asked for one — it's a normal request, not an insult. Remote-review prices are being collected per hospital.
