One of the first considerations as you start thinking about braces for yourself or your loved one is the cost. Sure, you’re thinking about how you / they will look, feel etc, but at some point, the money factor comes in. So how much do braces cost really?

Obviously, no monetary value can be placed on the perfect selfie smile, and so it is always best to look at orthodontics as a long term investment in your long-term dental health and confidence.

Here are some things to think about when it comes to cost:

  1. Location: As you can imagine, where you live will have an impact on how much you pay for pretty much, any service. Orthodontic treatment is no different. At The Orthodontic Centre at Northland, treatment costs are on-par with standard pricing in the Calgary Alberta area, and with that comes personalized and customized orthodontic care.
  2. All The Costs: What are all individual pieces involved in the overall costs? Such aspects as the consultation, x-ray diagnosis etc, will impact your costs. At The Orthodontic Centre, we are sure to be totally transparent with the costs upfront, so you do not have to deal with any unpleasant surprises! The initial consultation is free! 
  3. How You Pay: What are the options around payment plans and other financing? Is your provider open to a plan that ensures that you are not breaking the bank all in one go? You should always check on this. We provide interest free payment plans to help our patients.
  4. Insurance: Orthodontic insurance is not necessarily as straight-forward as other medical / dental insurance. However, you can always find out from your orthodontist, how much information they can provide you with to help navigate the process.
