Factors that impact the price of braces
The cost of braces can vary depending on the type of braces selected, the treatment plan, and the duration. Each patient we see will have a unique diagnosis; thus, the treatment plan can depend on their circumstance. Our approach to getting an accurate quote is for the patient to visit us so that we can do a full assessment. After the assessment, we provide an exact quotation.
Types of braces
Various braces are available on the market. Traditional metal, ceramic, and clear braces (Invisalign) are among the most popular choices. In general, the cost of braces increases the more invisible they are.
Treatment complexity
Orthodontic treatments can vary in complexity, impacting the treatment's cost. Some common orthodontic problems are overbite, underbite, crossbite, gaps in teeth, and overcrowding. If a treatment plan is more challenging, it can result in extended treatment, longer adjustments to your teeth, or additional hardware to be installed to correct your bite.
Treatment duration
The duration of your treatment plan will impact the cost. More extended treatment plans might require further appointments, adjustments and maintenance. We can indicate the duration of your treatment plan after the first assessment is complete
Additional treatment devices
In the assessment appointment, we will indicate if further hardware for your braces, such as expanders or headgear, is required. If needed, these additional devices can increase the cost.

Our ceramic braces are more expensive than metal braces because they are more discreet. The ceramic material is also more costly. You can expect ceramic braces to cost 10-20% more than metal braces.
Invisalign braces are costly because 3D scanning and printing are required. We make custom plastic aligners every few weeks that need to fit your teeth. Each time we fit a new aligner, light pressure is applied to your teeth so that they can move into the correct locations for a perfect bite.
Lingual braces are more expensive than metal braces because their fitment and maintenance are more challenging. Because they are fitted to the back of the teeth, the orthodontist has to work harder to perform their work. Expect to pay 20% to 30% more for Lingual braces.
Self-ligating braces are more expensive than metal braces because they consist of a metal clip on each brace that keeps the wire in place.
