How Much Do Braces Cost?

The average price for a typical 18-month braces treatment for your child is around $3,400 when you visit one of our skilled orthodontists. While this price can vary based on your child’s unique situation, we can work with you to provide an affordable cost for braces.

What Affects the Price for Braces?

There are several factors that can affect how much you pay for your child’s braces, including:

1. The Type of Braces

There are different types of braces your child’s orthodontist will recommend. Typically, the traditional metal braces are more affordable than ceramic or self-ligating ones.

2. Your Child’s Current Dental Situation

The way your child’s adult teeth grow in can affect the cost of the overall treatment. Depending on how severe your child’s teeth are, the cost for braces treatment can increase the longer your kid needs to wear them.

3. Dental Insurance Coverage

The amount your child’s braces will cost also depends on whether or not you have dental coverage. Even families with dental insurance may not have coverage for more than basic dental care.
