Braces for Children
When your child’s adult teeth have all grown in, this is the perfect time to take him or her to the orthodontist to see if he or she will need braces. Typically, braces for children cost between $1,800 to $3,200, depending on what kind of orthodontic treatment your child will need. Invisible type braces like Invisalign will cost more.
The biggest worry children have about braces is that it might hurt, but most children report little or no pain. The initial banding and tightening of the braces might be uncomfortable, but the pain is short-lived and should never be the reason to end the treatment before its due time. The average time children wear braces is about 24 months, but this varies from person to person.
