How Much Do Braces Cost?

Braces are a great investment that will last a lifetime.  So let’s start with the good news.  The cost of braces since 1980 has only increased by approximately 75-80% whereas the cost of an average new car has gone up four fold.  Improved materials have led to more affordable and gentler treatment.

The average cost of full braces ranges depending on the level of complexity.  You can expect to find a range of $4000-8000.  Orthodontic treatment is NOT a commodity so carefully research the credentials of your orthodontist and that they are using the most current materials and technology to properly diagnose and treat you or your child’s case.

Most offices now offer flexible payment plans with no interest.   If you have dental insurance it may cover a portion of the treatment.  In our office, we check for those benefits during the new patient consultation and include that in the estimate of treatment costs.
