You say it's going for braces, but the economy just might be seeing your money two-fold or more: first the ortho gets it, then s/he pays taxes, then s/he pays the mortgage, the insurance, and the staff, then they pay their taxes, then they buy frozen dinners (their spouses don't stay home to cook), and so on. Its tentacles are everywhere.
There's no end to the multiplier effect. Someday, perhaps someday soon, that flashy new smile is going to lead to some courting. Think of the flower shops, fancy new shoes, bar tabs.
