B)) The cost of conventional braces is the same with or without insurance.
1. The total cost ranges from $ 4,500 - $ 6,000, depending on the practice you will. [However, in some parts of the cost Ca] may be even higher.
2. The monthly payment can vary from $ 300 - $ 500, again depending on:

b) what the total cost that you have been quoted
c) how much money you pay in advance
d) How many years of treatment required
e) A total of how many visits are necessary to complete the processing
3. All the conditions mentioned above for Invisalign. The cost may be around the same range, even a little higher because it does involve a series of impressions and trays. That means a lot of work, material, and lab fees.
4. The smart thing would be to obtain a consultation, get a quote and compare the prices.
However, you want to go to someone who knows what he / she did!
5. Conventional braces are covered until age 16 or 18, depending on the insurance policy.
Invisalign is not because he is still considered an option or a cosmetic procedure that you can do without.
However, it should not hurt to find the insurance company.
6. lingual braces are delicate. You need a qualified dentist to place them.
