30K per arch? Yep, that's what it costs at Clear Choice. It's ridiculous. Most seniors can't afford this, so you know where this goes. No teeth to eat with. Bernie has the right idea, but there is no way in hell the government will pay for this. Even snap on dentures cost 12K. Insurance sucks. There is no way on hell any of this will finally be addressed before I die(I'm in my 60's). The weird part. Many families have had messed up teeth from birth. And we all know how that ends up. I don't care how many times you brush/floss those teeth daily.

This problem will never go away, and it will continue to be a luxury to have teeth til the day you die. Ya better start saving now. The price goes up every year.
