Orthodontist!?!?!?

Ok I just had a vistit to my orthodontist and he wants to charde $5000 for braces for 18 months. There are no health issues (like needing spacers or anything) just the braces are needed. Is this price out of line?

Nope that is the same price for me





5thou and 18 months


But I have the Ceramic Ones.


Not the metal





So you may be getting ripped off.





Ceramic all the way!
Reply:Nope braces price range is from 3000-5000. It really depends on your orthodontist and your problem.
Reply:no this is pretty average mine was actually more because i needed extra stuff.
Reply:I am not 100% sure about this but I got my braces, spacers, retainers, and headgear for about $3500 over the period of 4 years. It probably depends on where you go and what types of services they offer. Good Luck!
Reply:yup braces are way expensive... i just hope you have good health insurance to cover that. go 1199 insurance!!1
Reply:No that price isnt out of line because it depends where you live. If you live in a rich area, it will cost more about 7000-10,000. If you live in a middle class area it will cost about 3,000-6,000.





I went to this orthodontist where they charged me 5,000 but my insurrance covered 2,000.


Your insurranced might cover some of it.


If you think that is too much, Go find another orthodontist %26amp; ask them how much do they charge.
