Orthodontist, etc.

8 years ago

We will be moving to San Pedro Las Huertes at the end of September. Thanks to responses from my first post, my husband plans on renting office space at Impact Hub in Antigua to work. He will need to commute via bus daily. Are there monthly bus passes? How does that work? Also, my son needs braces to correct his overbite. He is 10. Is there a good, English speaking orthodontist in Antigua? also, do you file something like that with insurance or just pay out of pocket? friends of friends of ours had braces for their kids when they lived in Peru and they said it was under $1000 total cost for 2 kids!! Speaking of money, in order to pay rent and security deposit, can it be in Us dollars or do we need to have everything in Q before we get there?
