    I'm thinking of getting braces but so far I've gotten a very wide range of prices, how much on average are they, and can you pay for them monthly? Thanks

    Yes you can pay for orthodontic treatment montly.

    As for average prices, there are none as there are no average patients. If you have gone to several orthodontists and got estimates then you have a god idea. If you looking online then the prices are only guides. The price of treatment will depends on.
    1. The complexity of your case.
    2. The length of time it will take.
    3. Limited objectives versus comprehensive treatment.
    4. Upper or lower or both.
    5. Material of the braces, aligners, lingual ortho, regular metal etc.
    6. The person doing the job, their qualifications and experience. You pay for qualifications but you also pay for marketing for those without, I know which I would prefer to pay for.

    Generally there are a number of ways to get straight teeth, however some take long, some are better, some are quicker. Prices will vary. Orthodontics is a service not a product.

    Do you need top and bottom braces as this will come into it also.. also do you want clear, metal, ceramic?
    I had a slight over bite and gap, got braces off about 2 years ago now and I'm a different woman, I should of gotten them done years ago.
    Cost me 3200 and that was for top only ceramic type, retainer and whitening treatment at the end.. I paid 1k upfront and the rest monthly..
