What is the price difference between ceramic braces and metal braces?

Cost of Orthodontics: It's more important to find a qualified Orthodontic specialist whom you trust than to be concerned by the nominal difference in cost of the materials. The fees will probably vary more depending upon the training, experience of the dentist as well as the type of practice or location than between ceramic or metallic braces. Get some recommendations and go for some consultations. Then decide.

Approximately $600: The average cost of ceramic braces is approximately $3,800. The average cost of metal braces is approximately $3,200.

Nominal: Most Orthodontic specialists that I know charge a nominal fee difference because clear braces are more costly to purchase, require slightly more chair time during treatment, and because they are a bit more difficult to remove. Find the best fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist in your area and discuss which medicine (brace) is best for you. Quality and expertise more important than cost.
