Questions

+ How much do braces cost?
Traditional metal braces typically cost $3,000–$7,000. Ceramic braces run a bit more, and lingual (behind-the-teeth) braces are the most expensive at $8,000–$13,000. Children's and adults' pricing is broadly similar. (Authority Dental)
+ How long do braces take?
Most treatment takes 18–24 months, though simple cases can be under a year and complex bite corrections can run 3 years. Your orthodontist adjusts the wires roughly every 4–8 weeks. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Does dental insurance cover braces?
Many plans include an orthodontic benefit — commonly a lifetime maximum of $1,000–$3,000, sometimes limited to patients under 18. Coverage is separate from your regular annual maximum. Check your plan's ortho benefit and age limits. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ Braces vs. Invisalign — which is better?
Braces are fixed, work for the widest range of cases (including severe bite issues), and can't be lost. Invisalign is nearly invisible and removable for eating and cleaning but relies on wearing it 20–22 hours a day. Cost is similar for typical cases. (Cleveland Clinic)
+ What age should a child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7, when enough permanent teeth have come in to spot developing problems — even if treatment doesn't start until later. (American Association of Orthodontists)
