,

Tyler's Starlight is a Side-opening. As far as paying for the

band...... check with your ortho's office. SOmetimes they will take

payments. Also anothrer thing to check into is a " Medical Hardship " .

You have to swallow your pride and submit income/expense reports. I

don't know why, but alot of people will not tell you how much the band

cost them. Tyler's band was orriginallly $2100. Our insurance will

not cover any(Cosmetic). We tried the Medical Hardship route. Our

ortho's office is associated with a very large hospital in South

Dakota-Sanford Hosp. They said they couldn't do a full hardship

forgivance but they did reduce it to $1200.

For just a few forms to fill out, it was well worth it.

Good Luck
