To find out how much braces will cost in Mississauga, you need to consider a few things that will affect the final cost. We know getting braces is a big financial decision for many families. At Mistry Dental we want to make sure you understand our prices and help you choose options that fit your budget and dental needs.
The type of braces you get will have a big impact on the cost of treatment. Traditional metal braces are usually the most affordable way to straighten teeth. Millions of people have gotten beautiful smiles with these strong brackets and wires. Ceramic braces cost a bit more but they match the colour of your teeth so they are less noticeable. Clear aligners are another option but they tend to be more expensive. We let you compare the pros and cons of each option with your budget in mind.
The complexity of the treatment is a big factor in how much it will cost you in the end. Simple spacing issues or small crowding don’t take as much time or as many changes as serious bite problems. During your appointment we look at each case individually. Some people only need treatment for 6 months, others need it for 2 years or more. Longer treatment times means more appointments and changes which naturally increases the total cost. We give you honest estimates based on your individual orthodontic needs.
Age affects the cost of treatment in many ways. Kids and teens respond to orthodontic treatment faster than adults since their jaws are still growing. Sometimes adults need extra procedures to get the best results from their treatment. Adults also tend to choose options that are less noticeable, like clear aligners or ceramic braces which can make treatment more expensive. We do however work with patients of all ages to find affordable ways to get the results they want.
Different insurance plans cover braces in very different ways. Many dental insurance plans cover orthodontics especially for people under 18. We help you figure out what your coverage limits and lifetime maximums are. Our team files claims for you and gives you all the paperwork you need. Some patients find out that their coverage is better than they thought which makes their out of pocket costs much lower. Before you assume treatment is too expensive we recommend you check your benefits.
Many families in Mississauga who can’t afford braces right away can do so with payment plans. We have flexible monthly payment plans that let you pay for your treatment over time. Many patients find this method easier to handle than paying everything up front. We also discuss how much down payment you need to make and try to find a plan that fits your budget. Getting treatment sooner rather than later can often stop dental problems from getting worse and costing more in the future.
We know some people need more than just braces to get better. To make room for proper alignment tooth extractions may be necessary. In some cases you need specific tools like headgear or palate expanders. These extra treatments cost more but ensures you get the best possible result. We always discuss these requirements ahead of time so you know the whole treatment plan and how much it will cost. If you’re worried about the color of your teeth after getting braces we may discuss Teeth Whitening options to finish off your smile makeover.
Straight teeth are good for more than just how they look. Cleaning teeth that are in the right place is easy which reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease. Proper bite alignment keeps teeth from wearing down too much and can get rid of jaw pain. Many patients say their confidence has grown which has had a positive impact on their personal and professional lives. Braces are an investment in your health and well being since they have these long term benefits.
