Is dental braces cost important?
Your budget is important in determining what kind of braces you may afford. Even good orthodontic insurance doesn’t always cover total cost even for traditional dental braces. If you choose designer or colored braces, typically you have to pay extra for the luxury and extra time spent on putting those braces on. While orthodontic treatment with traditional dental braces cost on average from $4,000 to $7,000; designer braces or porcelain braces can cost as much as $10,000 or more, depending on the type of braces, overhead cost of providing professional services, the geographical location you are at, etc. There are no standard fees and the cost can vary from one orthodontist to another even at the same location, since there are may be different approaches to treatment, such as extraction vs. non-extraction, self-ligating braces vs. traditional, etc. Many Orthodontists to set their fees look at the insurance rates reimbursement schedules, and other fee guides based on surveys made by data
