Keep reading to learn how much invisible braces cost and how they work to straighten your child’s teeth.
The best way to get an accurate quote on the cost of invisible braces is to talk to an orthodontist. However, it is possible to estimate the price.
The average cost of invisible braces is between $4,000 and $7,400 for Invisalign and $4,000 to $8,000 for ceramic braces. This price estimate is only slightly higher than regular braces ($3,000 to $7,000).
At Kool Smiles, we make it more affordable than you may think to afford the cost of invisible braces.
