Usually insurance will cover most or part of it... ask your mom if you have dental insurance! Better to get braces now then have them as an adult or junior in high school like I did lol.



I had braces my freshman year of high school. I had dental insurance and they would only pay for it if I was scaled a specific number on the scale they had. I totaled a number of 32 which was way past the approval for them to pay for it. You should definitely ask about dental insurance. Majority of the time, they will pay for it; if they are bad enough.

I had the dental insurance and they paid for it.



It all depends on the doc. u go to & how crooked or big of an over gap u have. ab doc. i went to wanted $6000! but then i went to another one close to him & he only wanted $4500 so we went with him. i've had braces for 2 years now & hope to get them off soon this year. They reallyyyy hurt the first 3 days! i could not eat anything solid! but trust me its alllllll worth it when you have that perfect smile everyone want



braces can cost upwards of six thousand dollars, and if you don't have dental coverage you absorb the entire cost. even if you do have dental coverage, sometimes the deductible is a couple thousand so you still have a large cost to get braces.



Yes they are...your mom should try to ask your health insurance or something? I'm not sure what you would do...but I know there are ways of getting around it. Anyways braces are EXTREMELY expensive if that fully answers your question. :)
