The cost range for braces can vary greatly for each type: Metal braces (traditional braces) : $3,000 - 7,000. Ceramic braces : $4,000 - 8,000. Lingual braces : $8,000 - 10,000. Invisalign : $4,000 - 7,400. Prices depend on where you live – orthodontists in more rural areas are often less expensive than ones in larger cities - and may be at the orthodontist's discretion.
