AIBU to ask the cost of fixed braces if you've paid out for them?

[Sundiamond]

Can anyone shed light on how much they paid for a fixed metal bottom row brace?

Thanks very much

It will depend on how much your teeth need straightening.

Ask your dentist.

My niece was £2300 for a fixed top brace, but
there are so many variables-you need to speak to an orthodontist

About £2600 for metal train tracks on the bottom only paid in instalments

i know I need to speak to an orthodontist, I'm just trying to gage some general prices. Thanks

Yeah about £2,500 in 2016 for top braces only. I had the clear ones though, and that cost included absolutely everything needed to complete the treatment - a hygienist appointment, changes of the wires every month or so, filing down one tooth at the end to make it less jagged and teeth whitening

I currently have top and bottom fixed brace. The bottom was £1500 and the top is white ceramic and cost £1750. I’ve to pay for the fixed and plastic retainers when they come off and I think the foxes ones are £400 and the plastic around £100.

You won’t get an accurate price line this. It is so dependent on your mouth.

Top and bottom for me was quoted as £6000k (can’t afford it right now), my friend was half that.

I’ve been getting quotes over the last few days for fixed clear train track style braces. For top and bottom £3950 - price includes all appointments, fixed and removable retainers at the end of treatment and some minor composite bonding. This was the best package I found and I called a LOT of orthodontists (this is in Sevenoaks)

I paid £3K for both top and bottom all inclusive with six month smiles.

We paid £2k for DD's braces, top and bottom. Nothing posh though. Referred by NHS but not sufficiently wonky it turned out, for NHS treatment. All daytime appointments which was a bit of a pain plus metal braces, all appointments etc (practice offers evening ones, but only for premium paying patients).

My son aged 16 has recently had fixed clear/white braces. We are paying £1750 each for top and bottom braces. Thats everything included as well as a night time retainer after the braces are removed.

Bottom brace for us was £3000. But we’re in the south if that makes a difference

4K top and bottom

1800 top and bottom bog standard wire braces

I've got clear aligners ( I know they're not suitable for all) but I'm halfway through treatment and very pleased with them. Paid £1,700 and then will need to buy retainers at the end of treatment for £90.
