About $4,500 -$5,500: Of course, fees vary depending on geography and complexity. However the average fee, for an average two year case, is between $4, 500 and $5, 500.

I think Dr Ostreicher's range is about 15-20% too low. Conversations with colleagues and former students reveal a 5-6,000 range, with fees higher in areas where the cost of living is higher, such as near the large coastal cities.

Not Campbells' Soup: Every can of soup is exactly like every other can of soup. Every malocclusion is different. Is problem misaligned teeth, jaws, or both. How's the bone/gum support. What about the horizontal and vertical overbites. And so much more. Make an initial examination appointment with a qualified orthodontic specialist (often complimentary) for an answer that matches your problem, not your friend's.
