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.

10 of Vancouver's 144 clinics offering braces have an orthodontist on staff. See orthodontists in Vancouver

How much do braces cost in Vancouver?

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

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

Do general dentists in Vancouver do braces?

Yes. 134 of the 144 Vancouver clinics offering braces do not list an orthodontist, so general dentists there typically provide it. 10 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 Washington?

Dental plans with orthodontic benefits often cover part of braces for children, commonly up to a lifetime maximum. Adult coverage is less common. Medicaid covers braces for children only when medically necessary. Check your plan.

Do braces hurt?

Getting braces fitted is usually not painful. Most patients feel soreness for a few days afterward and after each adjustment, which over-the-counter pain relief often manages. Brackets can rub the cheeks at first, and orthodontic wax helps.

Which Vancouver braces dentists are open on Saturday?

19 of 144 Vancouver clinics offering braces list Saturday hours, including Gentle Dental Salmon Creek, Willamette Dental Group - Vancouver - Mill Plain and Dr. Chung-Ah Jang. Hours come from each clinic's listing; check with the clinic before you go, since holiday and summer hours can change.
