I suppose it won't save me, but <3 for working on this. I need work done, but I don't have dental insurance, will have to pay out of pocket, and have yet to overcome the analysis-paralysis problem of finding someone who'll charge a fair price, do good work, and won't add any more holes than I need.

Ha, analysis-paralysis is a good term. (Also need work done) What work, generally?

One of the reasons I keep working on this project is that I am in a similar situation. When I started researching this topic, I did a test. I made x-rays, and my friend dentist took dental photographs of me. Then I had sent these over email to 7 independent dentists. Recommendations I got where as diverse as the ones from "How dentists rip us off" article by Readers Digest. I haven't done any of recommendations except for 2 fillings that even I was able to recognise on the images. For the rest, I am going to use my app to find the best solution.

  What's your timeline like?

    I am not sure I understand your question. Could you be more specific?

      Where are you on the march from nothing to a usable app (even if that's a beta) in months, seasons, years, or any other form that makes sense? :)

If you have a lot of work that needs doing, it may well work out cheaper to find a dentist overseas, fly there, stay for a period of time, and then fly home again. For some reason I keep hearing about people flying to Serbia to do this.
