Once your dentist has evaluated your mouth he will create a treatment plan, outlining the steps that need to be followed for your corrective treatment. You will be presented with a quote for the cost of braces for the entire process, and this is usually 18 to 24 months of treatment.
To make sure your costing is comprehensive, ask your dentist or orthodontist if the following line items are included:
Your consultation, progress reviews and check ups
There will be a number of visits to your dental practitioner and these add up over 18 months. Make sure these costs are included in your costing.
Your orthodontic appliances
Your aligners, braces and wires will account for a large proportion of your final costing. Ask your dentist if your quote includes all the appliances for the full duration of your treatment.
Post-treatment care
You will need to make visits to your dentists after treatment, to ensure that your teeth do not drift back into their old position. Most people need to wear a removable retainer at night after their braces have been removed. Double check that this is accommodated in your costing.
