How much is a palate expander and braces?

Question

i went to the dentist and he says i need a palate expander AND braces. how much is a palate expander and how much are braces?????? help please!!!

Answer 1

dont know about the palate expander, but I just recently got braces almost 3 mths ago, mine were 5400.00! Being that I am 28 years old, insurance DID NOT cover anything, if you are under 19, then you may want to check with your insurance as they may cover some of it. Also, most ortho's offices allow you to put a certain amount down and they set you up with small monthly payments!

Answer 2

they sould cost you about $5000 for the braces and the same amount for the expander.

Answer 3

Id say the whole treatment like 5000 or less. Dependind how long you need the braces.

Answer 4

Depends on how long you have to go through the procedure.  When my daughter had that (plate expander and braces) it took about 3 years and cost ~$4,000 total.  She was in Jr. High at the time.
