Braces are designed to straighten crooked teeth and help regain a brilliant smile. How much will braces cost? That’s a frequently asked question from those who want to seek the service. According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, its price varies widely depending on patients’ teeth condition as well as the type of braces they choose. 

    In cases of underbite during deciduous dentition or early mixed dentition, usually caused by functional factors, it’s functional appliance that is recommended. If children can cooperate well with dentists, a sound improvement is within expectations. Besides, the appliance is quite affordable, generally costing about seven or eight thousand yuan.

    As for teenagers and adults, the mostly used braces are traditional wired braces, including metal ones and ceramic-bracket ones. Patients can choose a right one for themselves based on their personal requirements. Generally it costs more than twenty thousand yuan. Though fixed traditional braces work well to straighten teeth, they don’t appear that aesthetic. To those who value more on aesthetics, therefore, they can consider another two kinds of orthodontic aligners. 

    One is lingual braces which are fixed at the backside of teeth. It’s hard for others to notice that you’re undergoing an orthodontic service. Apart from the nice appearance, it also yields a rather stable result. Nonetheless, patients may feel a stronger sense of foreign body during the treatment. Certainly, lingual braces will cost more, roughly sixty to seventy thousand yuan. 

    The other one is invisible appliance, also known as bracket-less invisible orthodontics, which is very lightweight and transparent. Nowadays invisible appliance is gaining ever-increasing popularity due to both of aesthetics and comfort it produces. Patients are able to put on and take off the braces on their own. But bear in mind to wear it for as long as 20-22 hours every day. Otherwise, it may compromise the final result. Its price is about forty thousand yuan. 

    In closing, the price of braces spans a wide range. It would be advisable to seek one in accordance with both your financial and dental condition. However, they serve merely as a tool. What really matters to a successful teeth correction is the treatment plan and the technique of your orthodontist. Consult with a professional and get your customized treatment plan.
