how much are metal braces cost for adults

Hi. Well I'm in the UK. I have metal braces top and bottom. I am under a cosmetic dentist. Approx 10 months treatment with retainers and wire along inside of teeth to hold them in place when removed, will cost me £3,300. Cheaper and quicker than Invisalign in my case .

It varies. Adults are typically more than kids. I've read anywhere from $2000 up to $8000. Some areas of the country are less expensive; some more. Some folks have had quotes in their local area with a difference of several thousand dollars depending on which ortho they went to. Most dental insurance won't cover cosmetic orthodontics.

I'm paying $6000 for two years of Metal Damon Braces and just about to pay off the remainder of that and supposed to be done with braces in August.

They also include two years of checking retention and obviously the retainers.

I'm in the UK (East Midlands) and mine were £3300 also. Full metal braces for 18 months (ish, hopefully!) and retainers afterwards.

Mine was £1060 ish which is for the brace (fixed metal sectional upper front 6), ipr, fixed retainer, vacuum retainer for night. Consultation was £95 on top that. 3rd time lucky ?!

I'm in the UK (East Anglia) and my orthodontist quoted £3200 for metal braces or £3700 for ceramics. I went with the ceramics since the difference didn't seem that great.

My whole treatment (including study, x-rays, molds, braces, retainers for after the braces, bite plane and monthly appointments is supposed to cost just under 1900€ (something like £1650 or $2000) with a dental insurance that some insurance companies offer in Portugal, down from a regular 3500€.
