How Much Do Traditional Metal Braces Cost?

Going for orthodontic treatment can be a good way to straighten teeth and give a person a nice confidence boost because of the way that their new smile looks. If you are considering braces for yourself or your teen, you might be interested in what the cost happens to be like. The cost of orthodontic treatment really depends on a variety of different factors. In general, traditional metal braces can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 depending on the severity of the teeth and the amount of work that they need.

Factors to Consider with Cost:

There are several different factors that you should consider if you’re thinking about the overall cost of getting braces for yourself or a child. These factors can be the difference between affordable braces and ones that you will have to pay for completely out of your own pocket.

1. Different types of braces. The specific type of braces that you choose to go for will decipher the cost that you’ll be paying to get them. For example, traditional metal braces tend to be more affordable, while invisible braces can be more expensive than other types.
2.  The amount of work needed. Some people need more orthodontic treatment than others, and this will also factor in with the cost of the work itself. If a person first needs a lot of treatment before braces can even be put on, this is something that will increase the costs.
3.  Insurance. If you have orthodontic or dental insurance, some or even all of the work might be covered by your provider. Many insurance providers will cover about 50% of orthodontic work, so this is definitely going to bring the price down for you if you choose to have the work done.

Affordable Braces

Braces can be easily affordable for those who are afraid of the price. Having your options open as to the different types of braces can help to decrease the amount of money that you spend for this type of work. Even if you want invisible braces, your insurance provider can cover part of these costs for you. Having dental insurance is going to help you to pay for this type of treatment and make it a lot less expensive in the long run.
