Isn orthodontic treatment expensive?
Not in comparison with the cost of dealing with untreated problems. Orthodontic treatment may bring long-term health benefits and may contribute to the avoidance of costly, serious problems later in life. Historically, the average cost of all health services has risen faster than the average cost of orthodontic treatment. Also, the cost of orthodontic treatment has increased significantly less than the rate of inflation. This means the public’s buying power has increased over time relative to orthodontic fees. Finally, orthodontic offices typically provide various payments plans so orthodontic treatment is truly affordable for most families who really need and want braces, even if they do not carry orthodontic insurance.
