Price Ranges for Brackets

The price range for brackets can vary widely depending on the type and quality of the bracket. In general, traditional metal brackets can cost anywhere from $3 to $8 per bracket. Ceramic brackets, which are more aesthetically pleasing but also more expensive to produce, can range from $5 to $25 per bracket. Lingual braces, which are placed on the back side of the teeth for a more discreet look, are the most expensive option, with prices ranging from $8 to $30 per bracket.

These prices are just for the brackets themselves and do not include the cost of the entire orthodontic treatment, which can also include additional fees for consultations, X-rays, adjustments, and other services. Prices can also vary based on geographic location, individual orthodontist pricing, and any insurance coverage that may apply.
