Colored braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign braces can cost well over $5000. You are paying for the novelty of having something other than standard metal, plus the cost of titanium, gold, ceramic and the other materials used for nonstandard braces can cost several thousand more because of the material itself.
The typical price of Invisalign braces is usually a bit higher than regular braces. The average cost, according to the manufacturer, is between $3,500 and $8,000. Your dentist or orthodontist can give you a better estimate of the price. The factors that come into play are the extent of the alignment your teeth require and how many aligners you need throughout the treatment. The typical cost of regular braces varies widely, but is usually in the range of $2,500 to $6,000.
