Price Ranges for Braces
The cost of braces can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of braces (traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners), the complexity of the orthodontic treatment needed, the location of the orthodontist, and any additional services required.
On average, traditional metal braces can cost between $3,000 to $7,000. Ceramic braces, which are less visible than metal braces, typically range from $4,000 to $8,000. Lingual braces, which are placed on the back side of the teeth, can cost between $8,000 to $10,000. Clear aligner systems like Invisalign generally range from $3,000 to $8,000.
It's important to consult with an orthodontist to get an accurate cost estimate based on your specific needs and treatment plan. Additionally, insurance coverage and payment plans may help offset the cost of braces.
