The Cost of Braces and What to Expect Learn how to choose an orthodontic treatment, what to expect from the process, and when is the best time to visit an orthodontist.

Are you considering braces for yourself or your child? You’re likely

to have some questions about what to expect from your treatment

and how much braces will cost. We’ve put this presentation together

to help you understand

the various factors

involved in getting a

beautiful healthy smile!

Not two smiles are the

same, so when you visit your

orthodontist, for example at

one of the Docbraces locations

throughout New Brunswick,

Nova Scotia and Prince

Edward Island, they’ll develop

a customized approach to your

treatment to ensure you achieve

a beautiful, healthy result.

There are many reasons why you might be a good candidate for

orthodontic treatment, so don’t worry that you’re too old or too

young. Your orthodontist should have experience treating all ages,

and many different

issues. Docbraces even

treats patients up to age

70, and around half of

our patients are adults.

The Canadian Association of

Orthodontists recommends that

all children see an orthodontist

once their permanent teeth start

coming in, around age 7?

Did you know....

Of course, this doesn’t mean

that your child will need braces

straight away! It gives your

orthodontist a great opportunity

to determine which problems

exist and assess the best time to

start treatment.

First, a thorough examination of your teeth, mouth, and jaw. Your

orthodontist will also ask you questions about chewing, swallowing

and any clicking or popping you notice regularly.

What should I expect during my first visit?

to provide a clear picture of where your teeth and jaw are

positioned. You’ll also get moulds or maybe even get a 3-D

scan of your teeth. Moulds are

made out of a quick drying,

sticky substance that creates an

exact replica of your teeth.

Next, you’ll likely get x-rays

Your orthodontist will look at all of these things together to

determine the problems that are causing your discomfort and

create a specialized treatment plan just for you.

Receiving your specialized treatment plan

Orthodontists trained like

dentists, but have three more

years of training? They’re

experts in the identification and

treatment of misaligned teeth or

problems with your bite.

Did you know....

There are a lot of different options, and each one has benefits.

What treatment is right for you?

Invisalign is a particularly discreet option. This system straightens

teeth without brackets and wires, but through using custom-made,

nearly invisible aligners that are worn 22 hours a day and changed

every two weeks.

Invisalign is one of the most

technologically advanced and

popular options that Docbraces

provides? We’ve helped over

300 patients, and are an Elite

Invisalign Provider.

Did you know....

You’re probably most familiar with

traditional braces, and there are a

few different styles. Radiance and

Empower are amazing clear options

made of crystal clear material

that don’t use elastics, so they’re

practically unnoticeable.

Other corrective appliances

that can help you achieve your

smile goals are palate expanders

and space maintainers that help

gently make or maintain room

for your teeth.

Determining which treatment is best for you depending on your

goals and the complexity of your case will have an impact on the

total cost of your treatment.

While everyone’s treatment is

different, you can expect an

average cost as low as $49 – $65

per week.

But what about cost?

Speak to your orthodontist about the financing solutions available

to you. At Docbraces, we only require a small downpayment. We

also recognize that cost can be a factor in your treatment, and we’re

committed to finding a payment

option that works with your

budget so don’t hesitate to ask us

any questions you might have.

The cost of orthodontics in the

Maritimes is much lower than

in other parts of Canada? You

can even save a possible $1,000

- $2,000 compared to the same

treatments in Quebec or Ontario.
