Metal braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct crowding, spacing, and bite problems, and their cost depends largely on how complex your case is and how long treatment will take. Most full treatment plans run somewhere between two and seven thousand dollars, with simpler cases at the lower end and cases involving jaw alignment or significant crowding at the higher end.
The total price usually covers the initial consultation, the brackets and wires themselves, all of your adjustment visits over the course of treatment, and a set of retainers once the braces come off. Because that price includes months or years of ongoing care rather than a single procedure, it helps to think of it as a full package rather than a one time purchase.
Dental insurance that includes an orthodontic benefit will often cover a portion of the cost, particularly for patients under eighteen, so it is worth checking your plan before you budget. Many practices, including ours, also offer in house payment plans that break the total cost into manageable monthly payments with no interest, which makes braces realistic for most family budgets.
The best way to get an accurate number for your own case is a consultation, since crowding, bite issues, and treatment length all affect price. At Oasis Dental in Aurora, we build a clear, upfront treatment plan before any work begins. Call (720) 680-2688 or schedule online to get started.
