As a parent, you'll probably have many questions about the different kinds of braces and the average cost of braces. With many different options in orthodontic treatment, the costs can vary widely. The most common type are metal braces and they cost from $3,000 to $7,000.
On average, metal braces cost $5,000 to $6,000. Keep in mind that your out-of-pocket costs will likely be higher if you choose non-metal braces. Check your Evidence of Coverage, Summary Plan Description or Group Dental Service Contract to see if your dental plan covers orthodontic treatment for adults.
