How Much Do Braces Cost?
Unfortunately, there is no definitive price tag for braces because the cost depends on a variety of factors, some of which include:
- The type of braces you receive (i.e. traditional or Invisalign)
- If you will need any pre-orthodontic dental work (i.e. tooth extraction)
- How long your treatment will last
- The number of trays you will need if receiving Invisalign
- The retainer you will need to wear when finished with orthodontic treatment
- If you will require any additional oral appliances throughout treatment (i.e. rubber bands, palate expander)
During your initial consultation with Dr. Jones and Dr. Hanson, she will go over the type of treatment that will best serve your needs and discuss all the factors that will be included in the overall cost estimate for your new smile.

Will My Flexible Spending Account Cover My Braces?
If you are employed by a company that offers a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you will likely be able to use this money to help pay for the cost of your braces. Each month, you designate a specific amount to be pulled out of your paycheck and put into your FSA account. You can then submit a receipt and request a reimbursement from your FSA.
