What is the difference in cost between metal braces and ceramic braces?

Ortho Brackets: The difference in cost is usually minimal. Some dentists have the same fees for either type of bracket. The expertise of the dentist in diagnosis and treatment planning followed by the quality of care is really what's important. Find a highly recommended Orthodontist and take it from there.

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

Varies: In some offices no differences. In most qualified offices about 10% as ceramic braces increase chair time and length of treatment by about 10%. The important consideration is the training, skill, and experience of the practitioner, not the gadget. See a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist for best care and ask him/her your question.

Ceramic Braces Cost: Ceramic braces, which blend into your teeth, can cost more than traditional metal braces.. The braces will work the same, they gently realign the teeth to the position the dentist and the patient have agreed upon and will take the same amount of time. Proper oral care, even with metal braces, is essential during treatment.
