When it comes down to choosing to which type of braces to get there is often the choice of imported materials and domestic materials. Today, most clinics and dentists use imported materials, so that leaves the question, are imported materials better?

Traditional braces are made of standard metal brackets that are placed on the teeth with an adhesive and connected by wire. They require periodic tightening so steady pressure can gradually straighten your teeth and align your jaw. Imported brackets and designed with details which causes less discomfort for the patient. The only downside of imported brackets is the price is more expensive.

In most cases the difference in costs will depend on the complexity of the case. Orthodontic treatment for teens are slightly less expensive but with complex cases there can be cost differences of over thousands of RMB. If there is a choice of imported self-ligated brackets then patients can expect increased costs of a few thousand RMB.

Also the other costs not included in orthodontic treatment include tooth extractions, periodontal treatment, fillings, dental repairs and x-rays. Therefore, it's difficult to estimate the overall costs for treatment but a rough estimate would be approximately over 10,000RMB for teens and for adults over 20,000RMB. For an accurate orthodontic treatment price you should visit a professional orthodontist. As for patients who are worried about the costs about paying so much in the one go, payments are made in installments, so the treatment is affordable.
