Download - The Cost of Braces and What to Expect
The Cost of Braces and What to Expect Learn how to choose an orthodontic treatment, what to expect from the process, and when is the best time to visit an orthodontist.
Are you considering braces for yourself or your child? You’re likely
to have some questions about what to expect from your treatment
and how much braces will cost. We’ve put this presentation together
to help you understand
the various factors
involved in getting a
beautiful healthy smile!
Not two smiles are the
same, so when you visit your
orthodontist, for example at
one of the Docbraces locations
throughout New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia and Prince
Edward Island, they’ll develop
a customized approach to your
treatment to ensure you achieve
a beautiful, healthy result.
There are many reasons why you might be a good candidate for
orthodontic treatment, so don’t worry that you’re too old or too
young. Your orthodontist should have experience treating all ages,
and many different
issues. Docbraces even
treats patients up to age
70, and around half of
our patients are adults.
The Canadian Association of
Orthodontists recommends that
all children see an orthodontist
once their permanent teeth start
coming in, around age 7?
Did you know....
Of course, this doesn’t mean
that your child will need braces
straight away! It gives your
orthodontist a great opportunity
to determine which problems
exist and assess the best time to
start treatment.
First, a thorough examination of your teeth, mouth, and jaw. Your
orthodontist will also ask you questions about chewing, swallowing
and any clicking or popping you notice regularly.
What should I expect during my first visit?
to provide a clear picture of where your teeth and jaw are
positioned. You’ll also get moulds or maybe even get a 3-D
scan of your teeth. Moulds are
made out of a quick drying,
sticky substance that creates an
exact replica of your teeth.
Next, you’ll likely get x-rays
Your orthodontist will look at all of these things together to
determine the problems that are causing your discomfort and
create a specialized treatment plan just for you.
Receiving your specialized treatment plan
Orthodontists trained like
dentists, but have three more
years of training? They’re
experts in the identification and
treatment of misaligned teeth or
problems with your bite.
Did you know....
There are a lot of different options, and each one has benefits.
What treatment is right for you?
Invisalign is a particularly discreet option. This system straightens
teeth without brackets and wires, but through using custom-made,
nearly invisible aligners that are worn 22 hours a day and changed
every two weeks.
Invisalign is one of the most
technologically advanced and
popular options that Docbraces
provides? We’ve helped over
300 patients, and are an Elite
Invisalign Provider.
Did you know....
You’re probably most familiar with
traditional braces, and there are a
few different styles. Radiance and
Empower are amazing clear options
made of crystal clear material
that don’t use elastics, so they’re
practically unnoticeable.
Other corrective appliances
that can help you achieve your
smile goals are palate expanders
and space maintainers that help
gently make or maintain room
for your teeth.
Determining which treatment is best for you depending on your
goals and the complexity of your case will have an impact on the
total cost of your treatment.
While everyone’s treatment is
different, you can expect an
average cost as low as $49 – $65
per week.
But what about cost?
Speak to your orthodontist about the financing solutions available
to you. At Docbraces, we only require a small downpayment. We
also recognize that cost can be a factor in your treatment, and we’re
committed to finding a payment
option that works with your
budget so don’t hesitate to ask us
any questions you might have.
The cost of orthodontics in the
Maritimes is much lower than
in other parts of Canada? You
can even save a possible $1,000
- $2,000 compared to the same
treatments in Quebec or Ontario.
