How much to orthodontic braces cost?

Depands case /locati: The cost in us can vary from 3500 to 7000. The variation can be based on the degree of problem or malocclusion, expertise of the doctor , mechanics used ( visible, partially visible-ceramic braces, totally invisible -clear aligners, invisalign etc and the geographic location. Some metropolitan areas might be more expensive due to larger local overheads.In third world countries it is much cheaper.

Not cheap: Depending on the severity of the case, i would say minimum $4500. I do invisalign clear aligners at my clinic and charge $4000-$5000 per case.

Regionally dependent: Orthodontic treatment cost vary according to region somewhat. Some area have a higher cost of doing business. Also, type of service will dictate cost somewhat. An up to date, state of the art, provider will likely cost more than a cut rate retail chain orthodontic office. Your experience will likely be different between these two choices.

5000: According to the annual orthodontist survey published by the journal of clinical orthodontics, the average fee for orthodontic treatment in the us is about $5, 000. It varies, depending upon geography, from about $4, 500 to $5, 500 for a typical, two year case.

Varies : The range of costs for orthodontic treatment are quite variable dependent upon the difficulty of the treatment that you need. The best way to determine the professional fees for your situation is to make an appointment for an evaluation with an orthodontic specialist.

Schedule an exam: There are several factors that contribute to the cost of braces. Each patient is different and there should not be a cookie cutter approach with one fee for all. You schedule an exam with an orthodontist to discuss your issues and options.

Varies: greatly based on treatment needed, neighborhood/state, provider. Typically for a comprehensive case, with insurance, it will likely be under $5,000 (most negotiated rates with carriers), but we have seen prices here in CO range from $4,000 to over $9,000 depending on the above factors. We are here in CO and are much closer to the $4,000 typically (while being named the #1 provider in the state!)

Not soup: The cost of Orthodontic Treatment (the appliance used will vary dependent upon the diagnosis) is not like going into the supermarket and buying a can of soup. Ortho Care is a service,,not a commodity, so fee will vary depending upon extent of the problem. The more complex, the longer in treatment, the more the cost.
