Before deciding to get braces as an adult, many people wonder how much does braces cost for someone aged 20-30? How long does it take? The following article provides a complete breakdown of the specific costs for each method and the duration of braces for each case.

How much does braces cost for someone aged 20-30?

When you were young, your parents may not have given you braces early on, or you may just now realize the importance of having straight, properly aligned teeth. You can absolutely get braces as an adult.

There is no age limit for getting braces. Orthodontic treatment can be performed as long as the teeth and jawbone are in good condition. Therefore, adults can get braces whenever they want.

Factors influencing the cost of braces in adulthood

How much does braces cost? In reality, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the cost of braces. The specific cost of braces will depend on the following factors.

Condition of the teeth

The complexity of the orthodontic case will determine up to 40% of the cost of braces. Severe misalignments in the jaw frame, multiple dental irregularities, require more complex treatment steps compared to minor misalignments. Advanced orthodontic techniques demand higher expertise, leading to increased material depreciation and overall higher costs.

Braces method

The cost of braces will depend on the braces method you choose. The price difference between different braces methods lies in the materials, appliances, and the aesthetic features they offer.

Ceramic braces, made from ceramic alloy and some inorganic materials, along with transparent aligners made from FDA-approved polyurethane plastic, provide high aesthetic appeal. The material costs for these two methods are higher than metal braces. Therefore, the cost of orthodontic treatment using these two methods will be higher compared to the cost of traditional metal braces.

Additional treatment costs outside the braces package

Having completely healthy teeth, effectively managing impacted teeth or misaligned wisdom teeth facilitates easy tooth movement and proper progression. These services are not included in the braces package cost. The amount can vary based on the individual’s level of oral health. Therefore, to determine the total cost of braces, it is necessary to consider additional treatment costs for orthodontic adjustments.

Being aware of the cost of braces is essential. Additionally, it’s important to inquire about associated treatments such as tooth extractions, use of screws, orthodontic appliances, inclined plane, etc. These costs may be included in the comprehensive braces package or may be charged as additional fees depending on the dental clinic.

How much do braces cost?

The accurate answer to the question “How much does braces cost for individuals aged 20-30” can be determined through the following formula:

If you have a mild misalignment (Level 1) without the need for tooth extraction and opt for traditional metal braces, according to the current orthodontic price list, the braces cost is approximately 16,000,000 VND. This is a comprehensive fee that includes appliance costs, reexamination fees, treatment, maintenance fees, and has already applied a 50% discount.

A tip on how to get braces while maximizing cost savings

If you fall into the category of average income or are a financially conscious student, you might be wondering about the cost of braces. You can still afford braces by considering one of the following options.

Choose the time when dental clinics offer promotions for braces

Realize your desire for braces at only 50% of the original cost, while maintaining the same quality of service and lifelong results.

So, if choosing the installment option, how much is the monthly cost for braces? For each braces method, the specific installment fees are as follows:

• Ceramic braces: 1,500,000 VND/month. Customers will pay an upfront amount of 7,800,000 VND.

Choosing a reputable and specialized orthodontic address

The cost of braces also depends on the orthodontic clinic you choose. Specialized orthodontic clinics have the advantage of investing extensively in orthodontic services. They often partner with major suppliers, allowing for good discounts, resulting in reasonable braces prices. Additionally, some dental clinics do not charge doctor fees, helping you save a significant amount.

How long does adult orthodontic treatment take?

Dr. Tran Thi My Nga at Saigon Dental Implant shares: ‘According to the American Dental Association (ADA), the ideal time for orthodontic treatment for children is between the ages of 7 and 13. Aligning teeth during the growth phase of a child is faster and more effective. However, orthodontic treatment is still possible in adulthood. As the jawbone has developed fully during this stage, the orthodontic process may take longer compared to childhood.’

The mechanism of the orthodontic process utilizes the mechanical force of orthodontic appliances to shift misaligned teeth to their desired positions. In adults, the jawbone is fully developed and rigid. Additionally, the tooth movement capacity of the jawbone is approximately 0.1 – 0.3mm per month.

Therefore, orthodontic treatment in adulthood takes longer compared to childhood. It is estimated to take an average of around 24 months to align teeth properly. Additionally, about 6 months may be needed for retention devices to help stabilize the teeth.

Orthodontic treatment with an appropriate method can show noticeable results in around 5 months of braces. Depending on the specific case and the orthodontic method, the duration of orthodontic treatment may vary by approximately 3 to 6 months. However, if you want to reduce the number of appointments and expedite the braces process, you can:

• Choose traditional metal/ceramic braces with self-ligating brackets: Smart design with fixed archwires in the bracket slots creates more even and stable force for better alignment compared to conventional braces.
• Opt for Invisalign clear aligners: Custom-designed aligner trays for each jaw model, featuring 3-IN-1 functionality: Smart Stage, Smart Track, and Smart Force with force-generating attachments to shift teeth an average of around 0.25mm.

The duration or cost of braces is not as important as the awareness of the need to improve your smile and boost your confidence by getting braces early.
