How much do braces cost?   

Four factors will affect how much your orthodontic treatment will cost.   

  • The type of braces. Incognito hidden braces are the most expensive and will cost your around $12000 compared to traditional braces that will cost around $4500.   

  • The length of the treatment. 12 months cases or phase I usually cost half of regular cases.  

  • Age of the patient. We treat patients of all ages. however, Adult cases usually cost 16% more compared to adolescent cases.   

  • Dental insurance benefit. If you have a dental insurance that you got from an employer with orthodontic benefits, then you might save between $1000 to $3000 based on your benefit plan.  

  

What is the process to get braces?  

  • During the initial consultation, we will take some pictures and X-rays. Dr. Kanaan will perform a visual exam and he might ask for a 3D X-ray which will be taken at our office.  

  • Your teeth have to be clean and cavity free. If you need a cleaning, we will refer you back to your dentist or have our hygienist do a professional cleaning for you. 

  • Dr. Kanaan can place your braces the same day if you choose Metal, clear or Gold braces. If you choose Invisalign or Incognito, then it takes 2-3 weeks to have them back.
