How Much Do Braces Cost?
Great question! We base the cost of care on the difficulty of the case. Some patients require braces only! Others require early care or surgery. Many children need growth appliances to avoid extraction of adult teeth or surgical treatment.
Early care plus braces costs more. The patient is more difficult!! We sometimes avoid braces with early care. This percentage is between 5 and 10 percent.
The braces, retainers and doctor attention are different among offices. Even experience, technology and staff training vary.
When you go shopping for care, you may want to compare apples to apples!! Not all orthodontists are alike.
Most patients listen to their family dentist and friends for an orthodontist to visit. Remember, are you shopping as an informed consumer or comparing apples to oranges?
