Cost of Braces

Braces are one of the best investments patients can make for improved health and quality of life. Because treatment requirements are different between patients, the cost of orthodontic correction can also vary. Here is more about how much patients can expect to pay to have their teeth repositioned with our Los Angeles orthodontist. 

 

 

Cost Factors Involved

 

The total cost of orthodontic treatment is based on the types of bite irregularities involved, the results patients seek, and the type of braces patients choose. When patients have certain types of bite irregularities, they may require more than one type of orthodontic device and longer treatment time, increasing total costs accordingly. Special appliances may also be necessary when patients want to correct jaw problems, such as overbite or underbite. Among different types of braces, prices vary with metal braces, lingual braces, clear braces and ceramic braces. 

 

Although the above factors are involved in calculating the basic costs of orthodontic treatment, differences between patients necessitate individual consideration by our orthodontist for accurate figures. For this reason, patients must visit our orthodontist to find out how much braces will cost for them. At the consultation, patients can also discuss their candidacy for the braces they seek and the average clear braces price in Los Angeles.
