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.
In short the average cost of braces in 2012 is $5,200. While this is the average across the United States, the range stems from $2,500 up to over $9,000 depending on the case. A light case of orthodontics could include closing small gaps on just the upper teeth. In this case braces may be applied to just the uppers and cost significantly less.
