BREAKING DOWN THE COSTS
The cost of orthodontics can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the specific treatment required, and the length of the treatment process. On average, braces can range from $3,000 to $7,000, while clear aligners, such as Invisalign, may cost between $4,000 and $8,000. Factors influencing these costs include:
* TYPE OF TREATMENT: Traditional metal braces tend to be more affordable than ceramic braces or advanced systems like Invisalign.
