What are braces?

Braces straighten teeth and correct bite problems using brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire that applies steady pressure. Options include metal, ceramic (tooth-coloured) and lingual braces placed behind the teeth. Treatment usually lasts 18–36 months.

Braces: specialist or general dentist?

Orthodontists provide most braces treatment and have 2–3 extra years of training in tooth and jaw alignment. Some general dentists offer braces for simpler cases. Complex bites and jaw growth problems are usually best handled by an orthodontist.

17 of Baltimore's 152 clinics offering braces have an orthodontist on staff. See orthodontists in Baltimore

How much do braces cost in Baltimore?

Typical ranges in USD for Baltimore, MD. Your price depends on the tooth, the case and the clinic.

Basis: DentistsRanked estimate from typical fees, adjusted for Maryland. Ask the clinic for a written estimate.

Do general dentists in Baltimore do braces?

Yes. 135 of the 152 Baltimore clinics offering braces do not list an orthodontist, so general dentists there typically provide it. 17 list an orthodontist on staff. Typical reasons to see an orthodontist: most braces cases, and always for jaw growth issues, severe crowding or bite problems.

Are braces covered by insurance or Medicaid in Maryland?
