Deciding to wear braces is an important step on the road to your healthy and beautiful smile. One of the first questions patients think of is, "How much will it cost me?" and "How long will I have to wear braces?" Fortunately, this article will provide you with all the key information about cost, length of treatment, and the factors that affect both.
Before we get to the specific amounts and time frames, it should be emphasized that the final price of braces and the duration of treatment with braces depend on several factors.
If you suffer from several defects in your teeth, the price may increase. Likewise - simple dental defects can be resolved more quickly than complex orthodontic problems.
Sometimes your dentist needs to perform certain procedures before orthodontic treatment. Or you don't treat your braces properly during treatment and have to go in for frequent wire repairs. This will increase both the cost and the overall length of treatment.
For a comparison of prices and average treatment times, see the table below:
| Type of braces | Average price | Average treatment time |
|---|---|---|
| Metal braces | 30 000-70 000 CZK | 18-36 months |
| Ceramic braces | 40 000-90 000 CZK | 18-36 months |
| Invisalign invisible braces | 50 000-100 000 CZK | 9-18 months |
| Lingual (internal) braces | 100 000-150 000 CZK | 12-24 months |
