When getting braces, how much extra on average does it cost to get the clear acrylics vs. regular metal ones

Question

I might have to get braces...but they will look horrible on me...so I want to know how much the acrylic clear ones would be compared to the regular metal ones

How much more would the acrylics cost on average?

Answer 1

We don't charge extra in my office anymore, but it used to be about $500.00 more.

Answer 2

im getting silver because they dont turn a gross color like clear but were i went it cost 600 dollars more but it depends on where u go i went to Arkansa

Answer 3

a better choice then acrylic would be ceramic

its about 300 more i got metal on the bottom row and ceramic on top and honestly lots of people dont even notice that i have braces!

EDIT: another advantage of ceramic is that although it's clear, it doesn't stain!

Answer 4

my orthodontist costs like 500 - 1000 more. Depending on how your teeth are you might have to get normal braces before. Like they wouldn't give me the clear ones because of the way my teeth are. I thought i would look terrible with braces and i just got mine on and really theyre not that bad i can tell you that.
