How much do braces cost?

There is no fixed price for braces. The price varies according to the type of appliance chosen, the complexity of your case and the estimated treatment time, defined by the orthodontist during the initial evaluation.

The same type of appliance can cost different amounts for different people, because treatment time and the complexity of the misalignment change the plan from case to case.

Factors that influence the price of braces

Check the main elements the orthodontist considers when putting together your treatment quote.

  • Type of appliance

    Metal braces, aesthetic/ceramic braces or clear aligners have different costs and indications.

  • Complexity of the orthodontic case

    The more complex the misalignment, the more planning and follow-up the treatment tends to require.

  • Estimated treatment time

    Longer treatments usually involve more follow-up appointments throughout the process.

  • Need for auxiliary procedures

    Tooth extraction, use of an expander or other complementary procedures may be indicated before or during treatment.

Why there is no fixed price list for braces

The type of appliance, the complexity of the misalignment and the estimated treatment time combine differently for each patient. A generic price list found online doesn't take these specific variables of your case into account.

How to find out the real cost of your braces

Schedule an in-person evaluation with an orthodontist. Only after examining your bite and defining the treatment plan can the professional present a detailed quote for your case.

How credit can help you pay for your braces

Once you have the quote in hand, you can decide whether you'd rather pay for the orthodontic treatment in installments. CredOdonto acts as an intermediary for the dental credit analysis application for braces.

Approval, amounts, rates and conditions always depend on the individual analysis of each application, subject to the criteria of the partners responsible for the operation.

Answers about braces pricing

Does the type of appliance (metal, aesthetic or aligner) change the price?

Yes. Each type of appliance has a different cost, tied to the material and technique used, and the orthodontist indicates the most suitable one for your case.

Does the estimated treatment time influence the total price?

Yes, longer treatments usually involve more follow-up appointments, which can be reflected in the total quote.

Is monthly maintenance included in the initial quote?

It depends on each clinic. Some include monthly maintenance in the initial quote, others charge it separately, so it's best to confirm that directly before starting.

Does case complexity (age, misalignment) affect the price?

Yes, the more complex the misalignment, the more planning and follow-up the treatment tends to require, which can be reflected in the price.

Is post-treatment retention charged separately?

In general, retention is treated as a separate stage from active treatment, but this varies by clinic. It's worth confirming that in the quote presented.

How do I compare proposals from different clinics?

Check whether the proposals being compared use the same type of appliance, the same estimated treatment time and the same maintenance scope before comparing just the final amount.
