About BracesPrices

BracesPrices is an independent guide to what braces and clear aligners cost in the US. We don't sell treatment and we aren't owned by an orthodontic practice.

Why it exists

Orthodontists rarely publish prices, and most cost guides online are written by practices selling their own treatment. We pull together published figures, show where each one came from, and give you tools to estimate your own price before you get quotes.

Our standards

  • Every figure links to its source, with the date it was published.
  • Estimates are labeled as estimates, and the model is explained on how we get our numbers.
  • Partner links are labeled, and they never change the numbers we publish.
  • We correct mistakes quickly and list corrections publicly. Report one.

The full rules are in our editorial policy.
