When you’re deciding on braces, the cost can be a significant factor. We understand — it’s one of the most common questions we get.
A simple online search will give you a vast range of costs for braces, so we know it can be confusing. That’s because there’s no “one size fits all”: Your braces are unique to you, so giving you a “general” range of cost is doing you a disservice.
Here, we break down everything that goes into determining how much your braces will cost. And we provide you with information on how to get the exact treatment that’s right for you at a cost you can afford.
Your perfect smile is easier than you think!
I had a wonderful experience going to A Perfect Smile! Service was always friendly, and I was always taken in in reasonable time. I would definitely recommend this orthodontist to anyone. My teeth are straight and beautiful and I couldn’t be happier.” – Jadyn B.
We have many types of braces available, including:
Each type has different materials, manufacturing processes, and levels of customization. This means different costs, depending on which braces work best for your specific condition.
Before beginning your orthodontic treatment, we perform a series of diagnostics. These include X-rays, a digital scan, and a full examination of your teeth, jaw, and facial structure.
While these procedures have a cost associated with them, we perform them free of charge as part of your initial consultation with Dr. Taylor or Dr. M.
The complexity of your case plays a significant role in determining the cost of your treatment.
Severe misalignment or bite issues often require additional time, specialized techniques, and resources. These can increase the overall cost.
On the other hand, simpler cases are shorter and will cost less.
Longer treatment durations require more frequent adjustments, which means additional visits to the orthodontist. It also means increased material costs, which can affect the overall price. And shorter treatment protocols will cost less.
Sometimes, although rare, patients may require additional appliances or procedures with braces. The need for these supplementary treatments can affect the overall cost.
After the braces come off, patients typically need to wear retainers to maintain the corrected position of their teeth. If a patient doesn’t wear their retainers and teeth move out of alignment over time, further treatment may be required which can contribute to the overall cost of braces.
As you have read, a great deal goes into determining the cost of braces. To ensure you know the actual cost of your treatment before you start, Dr. Taylor offers a free, no-obligation consultation to anyone considering braces.
Your consultation includes a complete, painless exam with X-rays. The doctor will then go over exactly what to expect and what options work best based on your individual needs and budget.
