Why is Orthodontics so Expensive?

Orthodontic treatment involves more than just straightening teeth. The specialty Orthodontics entails the management of tooth movement & dentofacial orthopedics which involves the guidance of facial growth and facial development. The price of orthodontic treatment varies due to the complexity and customization of each patientโ€™s treatment plan. The cost reflects the high level of expertise required from orthodontists who undergo extensive education and training beyond dental school. Additionally, orthodontic practices invest in high tech equipment and materials, such as 3D imaging and offer custom-made aligners or braces, which aid in precise and efficient treatment.

The price of orthodontics also includes ongoing care. Patients typically receive regular adjustments and monitoring over several months or years, depending on the complexity of their case. This long-term, comprehensive care ensures optimal results but adds to the overall cost. Despite the initial expense, investing in orthodontic treatment can provide lifelong benefits, including improved oral health, functionality, and confidence.
