Now the majority of youngsters care a lot about their personal appearance and prefer to seek orthodontics if there exists dental deformity. But they also worry that its cost would be far beyond their affordability. According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, braces generally cost tens of thousands yuan, but payment by installments can be arranged. So it won’t throw a huge financial burden on patients suddenly.

    In generally, there are two major factors — teeth condition and the types of braces, which will affect the price of orthodontics for adults.

    First of all, a thorough check-up should be run to find out the severity of teeth deformity and whether it is dental or skeletal. So that different treatment plans will be developed accordingly. In terms of dental and functional deformity, braces work well to improve the condition. While in skeletal cases, a combined treatment of braces and orthognathic surgery may be required. 

    There are various kinds of braces available, such as metal wired braces, ceramic-bracket braces, lingual braces and transparent braces. Among them the former two kinds are relatively cheaper, around ten to twenty thousand yuan. But in regard to aesthetics, they yield poorer performance than the latter two.

    Lingual and transparent braces belong to invisible orthodontics. The former one refers to bonding the braces at the backside of teeth. It’s hard to notice that one is wearing lingual braces. The technique, however, can only be applied by those skillful orthodontists who have received specialized training. When it comes to transparent braces, hardly can one notice your transparent braces until they get really close to you. It also performs quite well in aesthetics. It usually costs more than thirty thousand yuan, and a lingual one will cost more.

    With payment by installments arranged, braces is no longer a privilege exclusive to the rich. Consult with a professional and get a customized treatment plan if you have orthodontic needs. Teeth correction requires long-term efforts, but the result is totally wroth it.
