Many dental insurance plans with orthodontic coverage cover 50% of braces costs up to a lifetime maximum of $1,500-$3,000. Check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details. These are typical US figures; see the San Luis table above for local estimates.

How long do you need to wear braces?

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.

What age is best for braces?

While braces are most commonly placed between ages 10-14, adults can get braces at any age. Adult treatment may take slightly longer due to slower bone remodeling.
