I just got  braces two weeks ago, and it is costing me $4200.00.    That includes all visits and anything that has to do with them the entire time I am wearing them. It also includes the retainer to wear afterwards, and the whitening process that everyone gets afterwards too.  There are less expenisve dentists,  but you should remember that you get what you pay for.

1.  Ceramic braces offer a less visible alternative. They blend in more with the natural color of the tooth and are more visually appealing, however they are not as strong as metal and may cause treatment time to be lengthened.  These braces are usually $500 higher than traditional braces, which can cost up to $5000, depending on the complexity of the case.\n\n2.  Lingual braces are fitted behind the teeth, and are not visible with casual interaction. Lingual braces can be more difficult to adjust to, since they can hinder the movement of the tongue.  Lingual braces range in cost from $8500-$11800.\n\n3.  For some patients Invisalign might be a viable alternative to braces. The Invisalign system uses a series of clear plastic trays to move teeth into their position over a length of time. This system is not recommended for more difficult cases, or for people whose last molars have yet to erupt.  Invisalign: $5500-$7800.

To get it done properly will cost few thousand pounds. On NHS I really wouldn`t recommend it if you want to look good and chew comfortably in the future. If you want good looking braces add a few hundred to the fee...

If you get them through the dentist they are probably exspensive, if you buy it at the Drug store or where ever they sell them i think they are around $20

My son was 8 when I noticed some over-crowding in his teeth.  Yep he still had some adult teeth to come in but there was so little room - it only looked that the problem would be worse.  With some research and calling the Ontario Dental Association (there should be a Dental Association in you area too) Anyway all the medical advise I got was that teeth can still be growing until the age of 14, however if you see any crowding you can correct this with a 'dental appliance'.\n\nMy insurance covered part of the cost, and WOW what a difference, and a big savings as braces was estimated at 6,000 to 10,000 dollars.\n\nAsk you dentist if braces are really necessary and if an appliance would get the job done.  Its not the same as getting perfectly straight teeth, but at least in my sons case they look great without all the pain of braces and it only took 9 months (not years).\n\nI did get information that AFTER THE AGE OF 12 no matter what the problem is (over crowding or twisted teeth) only braces can correct it.\n\nGood Luck!

In northeast Ohio they cost @ $800-1000.  Definitely get a good referral from someone you trust or has had this kind of work done.  Ask the dentist you choose to see before and after pictures of other patients.  Many dentists have these kind of books.  It is true that your natural teeth are shaped and once you have a veneer placed you will always need to have a veneer or crown on the tooth.  You should consider the cost of eventual replacement.  They definitely can improve your smile and look beautiful if done correctly.  I would get an opinion of an orthodontist before deciding though.  Try and be very clear as to what you dislike about your smile now.  It may be that with braces and possibly bleaching, simple bonding, or even some "reshaping" of your teeth you may be very happy.  Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hi,\nBraces could run anywhere between 2000.00 - 8000.00. It all depends on  how long you have to wear them and what the treatment involves.  Your ortho dr will advise you if visaline is better or not.  Good luck.

You wanna live in Ireland mate. Paid €4,000 in the last 2.5 years  and not finished yet. €60 to have a check up. €600 for a canal, €80 for a straight filling, €700 for a crown, and thousands for braces. It is crazy here. The government puts 21%VAT on dentistry because having teeth apparently is a luxury here. Plus all our dentists drive Mercs and Beamers\nRant over\nBTW my dentist works very hard

ORthodontist are charging about $7000 for invisalign.  Dentist charge a little less. However if your teeth need extra attention like pulling down (extrusion) then your better off going to the Orthodontist.  They can set up your teeth for the invisalign then move you right in to the treatment.  They can modify the invialign tray to  pull the teeth down mechanically with bands and so on.  In short the secialist has more experience to draw on.  \n\nThe orthodontist takes molds of your teeth and sends to the \ninvisalign company located in Santa Clara California, in the heart of Silicon Valley. \n\nInvisalign Trays are made by a computer program and lasers.  The program scans the molds of your teeth into its 3-d software.  An orthodontist then sets your teeth in the computer the way he wants them to look. Then the software take your virtual teeth and moves them to the postion that the orthodontist desires in a series of steps.  It generates virtual movements like baby steps.  Then it takes the individual movements like a snap shot.  \n\nENter the lasers.  Laser then make phisical molds of your virtual teeth, using the snapshots.  The molds form a framework from which the trays are then made, packaged and sent back to your orthodontist to be given to you.

Fillings are neverrrrr $600...that is way too much. We normally make the patient pay like 80....that is the right amount about. And yes, i myself am a dentist, who uses invisalign. We are allowed to put invisalign. I do .

Depending on where you live in the U.S., they will cost approximately $550.00 - $1500.00 each.  Also, they are considered cosmetic, therefore they will not be covered by your dental insurance company.

The type of braces recommeded would depend on a lot of factors. But you could go for cosmetic or normal brackets or invisalign. Invisalign and and cosmetic are more expensive. There is also newer brackets like INNOVATION R which reduces the time of the treatment. If you are worried about the cost you can even go to a dentist who has an interest in orthodontics and has been doing orthodontics for at least a few years. Also ask if you can get non-extraction orthodontics done with arch development appliances if needed.\nGood Luck\nKC

Braces costs will vary depending on which orthodontist you see. Mine were $4000, but don't freak out. It's called monthly payments! When I got my braces, it took about two hours. You first get this weird bracket thing that holds your mouth open wide enough for the orthodontist to see. You also bite down on a mouth guard that your tongue stays behind so you don't get the special cement on it. Trust me, that cement junk is pure sourness!!! They clean your teeth first and use a small applicator to squeeze the icky cement onto each tooth you're supposed to get a bracket on. They put on the actual bracket part and wait a few minutes for the cement to harden. You are then usually allowed to get a bit of water and rinse your mouth. Don't freak. The brackets without the rubber bands or wires feel like rocks in your mouth, but no worries. Well, they finish up, set up the plan with your parents, and you're good to go! The most painful thing...would be at adjustment appointments if you have to get power chains or closing loops. Those suck sooooooooo much. On a scale of 1-10, the pain after the adjustments are about a 7. Hope this helps!\n\n.:Lark:.

The average cost from a crown is between $750 to $1300 the cost for a bridge is basically the cost of a single crown times the number of teeth that will be in the bridge.  That being said, it is often not advised to do permanent crowns or bridges on teenagers.  This is because they are still growing.  Teenager's mouths will continue to grown and the teeth will still tend to erupt a bit further.  Usually if a permanent restoration is placed too early, the esthetics and the occlusal plane (the biting plane of the teeth) will end up compromised.  Often we try to keep them either in something temporary or transitional until they are finished growing.  Now this is not an absolute rule, it depends on the case, whether it is a girl or boy (girls finish their growth earlier), where the work needs to be done, etc.  Often if the work is done while they are still growing, it will need to be redone at some point in time when they are older.

The standard metal bracket is the least expensive (notice I didn't say cheap). Any of the less common systems are more expensive.\nYes that Damon System is going to cost more.\n\nI charged the most for the ceramic ones - they not only cost me more to buy, but were harder to work with and REALLY hard to take off\n\nHey, I'm so old I when I had braces they put bands on ALL my teeth - that was a real tin-grin. And no it was after the dinosaurs.

Generally around $2000 per tooth in the U.S. It varies depending on what state you live in. Also, insurance will not pay for any of the procedure... the patient has to pay for them 100% out of pocket.
