Moving to Davis , pioneer elementary

Hi everyone, we are officially moving to Davis and the house is assigned to Pioneer elementary. Is it too late to register my kiddo to that school’s kindergarten for the coming school year. Possibly with before and after care program.
I don’t know where to begin…

Long story short: I had a bunch of exams done with oral surgery on base, and they recommended jaw surgery. However, the doctor said I need to work with an off-base orthodontist first to get my teeth properly aligned because of crowding issues.

She explained that the Air Force would not cover braces, but they could cover the jaw surgery itself. Also, from everything I’ve heard, the jaw surgery sounds pretty horrible.

I contacted an off-base orthodontist, and it looks like I’d be paying around $7–$10,000 total for braces. Does that sound normal? I originally thought braces could be covered by the military, especially since I know at least five people who got braces after signing up through dental in my section.

Should I reach out to patient advocacy? I do want to fix the issue, but I don’t want to put myself in a position where I have to pay that much out of pocket.
