Braces cost in Whitehorse: frequently asked questions

How much do braces cost in Whitehorse?

Is braces covered by CDCP or insurance in Yukon?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers orthodontics only in limited, medically necessary cases, and preauthorization is typically required. Many private plans cover part of braces for children. Ask the clinic for a written estimate.

How long do you need to wear braces?

Most people wear braces for 18 to 36 months, depending on the severity of their case. Minor corrections may take 6-12 months, while complex cases can require 3+ years.

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.
