These days you usually have 2 options when it comes to getting braces. Your first and most common option is to go to a local Orthodontist where you will pay an average of $5,000 -$7,000 for braces (Yes, we know, that's a lot of money) and get a decent treatment from a qualified professional with reliable results. That's often the best route but $5,000 or more is a big chunk of money, especially in our current economy!

Due to high prices, some families have been taking a big risk and going with the 2nd common option and that option is the infamous "Mail Order Braces" who offer "affordability"... But as you'd assume, there's a catch. The catch is poor quality! Your smile will not be as straight as a real Orthodontist will provide and your levels of pain and discomfort will tend to be higher too. The chances of needing multiple treatments or needing to later see a real Orthodontist are also quite high, which throws the idea of "affordability" out of the window.

As professionals we do not recommend this and no other Orthodontist in our city would recommend these services either (Please see a real Orthodontist In-Person!).
