• She compared the price to buying land in Kasoa and remarked on how people flaunt their braces due to the expense
• Several social media users who watched the lady's video said fixing braces was expensive based on where it was done

A Ghanaian lady has raised concerns over the high cost of fixing braces in Ghana and wondered where people get the money to get them fitted.

The lady said she had a routine dentist visit and asked to close an artificial gap. The dentist suggested she use braces to remedy the challenge.

In a video on social media, the lady said she decided to ask for the price so she could decide on it and realised it was very expensive.

“Braces are that expensive, and no one told me. I went to see the dentist and told him I had an artificial gap, and the dentist suggested the braces. I agreed and asked for the price, and they said it was GH¢25,000 and the glass one was GH¢30,000.”

The lady then lamented that this was the same price as land in Kasoa.

That is why people in braces show it off. So what happens when you take the braces off? You must put it in your living room for everyone to see that you have fixed expensive braces before,” she added.

The lady did not state whether she would proceed with fixing the braces, considering the cost involved.
