Is this common for people who have braces?

Question

Ok so im getting braces in 4 days and i was wondering what the average price is (even though my parents already know what they have to pay). Dont worry we are not poor or anything but they have to pay like $4,200 or something like that and I was wondering if that was an average price for braces or they are just charging my parents more? it's not a big deal i'm just curious. Thank you!!

P.S. Im getting full braces.

Answer 1

Yes that sounds like a typical price for braces. However, some orthodontists charge more than others so you might want to look around for someone who is a little bit cheaper. But I wouldn't worry about being overcharged. That price is normal.

Oh and also, I have braces. Don't worry about getting them. They aren't that bad!

Answer 2

yes

get ready for serious pain (not to scare you)

i just got them and it is killing me

Answer 3

they charge based on the amount of time you are going to have them on. so no its not the same for everyone, but that is about what mine cost.

Answer 4

yes that's  how much you have to pay.

Answer 5

Yeah mine were about $5000.. sometimes people are asked to pay $10000 for them I think... so $4200 isn't a lot.

Answer 6

thats about right, mine costed $4,800, and we aren't the wealthist people. But yeah, i think the price depends on how long you will have them, i have to have them for 2 years, ive had the for 1 1/2.
