Braces cost is around $4000-$6000. Braces cost $3,000-$10,000 depending on location and also on what kind of dentist does them, general dentist (cheaper) or orthodontist (more expensive). In European countries Braces usually cost about $5,000 nowadays.
The cost range for braces can vary greatly for each type: Metal braces (traditional braces) : $3,000 - 7,000. Ceramic braces : $4,000 - 8,000. Lingual braces : $8,000 - 10,000. Invisalign : $4,000 - 7,400. Prices depend on where you live â orthodontists in more rural areas are often less expensive than ones in larger cities - and may be at the orthodontist's discretion.
