Average Cost Of Dental Braces

How much do Dentist Braces Cost the Patient? 

Average cost of dentist braces for comprehensive treatment range from $2,000 for children and $5,354 for adult braces. The average cost of braces is for both the upper and lower teeth and entails two years of treatment. This will vary slightly depending on the specific service that you might require and whether or not you have dental insurance.

Average cost that you will have to pay for orthodontic braces will vary depending on several factors:

1. Severity of the problem
2. Time needed for the overall treatment
3. Cost of dental braces also varies by location and from one orthodontist to the other.

Normally the cost of teeth braces for adults are around $5,000 but it is worth every cent the way you will look long after your orthodontic braces are removed. Your teeth will be aligned and straight using the latest technology. However, what you end up finally paying is determined by what condition your teeth are in and how badly their position affects chewing and speaking.

If you do not have dental insurance or a health plan that covers dental or orthodontic services there are dental schools throughout the country that offer free or reduced cost orthodontic services.
