Braces are an effective solution to correct some dental defects such as buck teeth, underbite, gaps, crooked teeth, etc., and bring beautiful, even teeth with a confident smile. Usually, the price list will vary between dental clinics, the specific cost of braces depends on the orthodontic method chosen by the customer. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, meeting the needs of customers in the best way and will also have a completely appropriate price.
1. In which cases can braces be used?
Braces are a fairly common orthodontic method and are widely applied in dental facilities. Normally, the doctor will prescribe this method for the following cases:
– Protruding or underbite teeth
– Jawless teeth
– Crowded, misaligned teeth
– Gap-toothed
– Teeth that do not fit together when the mouth is resting
– The jaw makes noise when chewing
2. Factors affecting the cost of braces
The cost of braces will usually fluctuate depending on the following factors:
2.1. Teeth condition requiring braces
Braces are a method that can completely correct dental defects such as buck teeth, underbites, gaps, misalignment, etc. at all levels from simple to complex. Depending on the condition of the teeth requiring braces, the treatment time will be extended or shortened, thereby the cost of braces will also be different.
2.2. Oral health status
Oral health at the time of braces is also an important factor affecting the price. Some oral diseases such as tooth decay, pulpitis, gingivitis, etc. need to be thoroughly treated before braces are attached to ensure safety and orthodontic effectiveness. At the same time, avoid the difficulty of having to treat the disease during the braces process. Therefore, the more and more severe the oral diseases that customers have, the higher the cost of braces will be.
2.3. Orthodontic method
The orthodontic method that the customer chooses is the factor that largely determines the price of orthodontic treatment. Each method currently has its own advantages and disadvantages, meeting the different needs and demands of many people. Customers can consult a doctor and choose the method that is suitable for their oral condition as well as their economic conditions.
2.4. Dental facility
Each dental facility on the market today has a different orthodontic price list, but usually there will not be too much difference. Dental clinics equipped with modern machinery and technology to support the orthodontic process to take place more smoothly and quickly will certainly have a higher price, but in return, customers will receive quality service and save a lot of time.
3. How much do braces cost?
The specific cost of braces depends on the method you choose:
3.1. Metal braces
This method uses a system of archwires and brackets made of metal to create a tightening force to help the teeth move to the correct position on the jaw. With the hardness of the material, the force created is very stable, helping the orthodontic process take place quickly and bring high efficiency.
However, many people hesitate to choose metal braces because they do not guarantee aesthetics. Because the color is completely different from the color of real teeth, it can make many people feel self-conscious in daily communication activities.
Metal braces currently cost from 30,000,000 – 45,000,000 VND / 1 course.
3.2. Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are divided into 2 types as follows:
3.2.1. Traditional ceramic braces
Similar to metal braces, this method uses a system of archwires and brackets to create a tightening force to help the teeth move to the desired position. Ceramic braces are attached to the tooth surface and the archwire will be fixed on the braces with orthodontic elastic bands or steel threads. It can ensure aesthetics thanks to the color matching the enamel color, but this method requires customers to visit the dentist quite often to adjust the elastic bands and check the progress of the braces.
The cost of traditional ceramic braces ranges from 40,000,000 – 50,000,000 VND/ 1 course.
3.2.2. Self-locking ceramic braces
Self-locking ceramic braces also use a system of archwires and brackets to help correct misaligned teeth, but the archwire will now be fixed on the bracket groove by an automatic sliding cover system. This structure allows the archwire to slide freely according to the movement of the teeth, which means that the tightening force will be created automatically, continuously and stably without the need for a doctor’s help.
Self-locking ceramic braces cost from 45,000,000 – 55,000,000 VND/ 1 course of treatment.
3.3. Lingual braces
Lingual braces have a similar structure to traditional metal braces with elastic bands used to secure the brackets and archwires. The difference lies in the location of the orthodontic appliance, instead of being fixed on the outside of the tooth surface, the archwire system and brackets will be attached on the inside opposite the tongue. This helps hide the braces, making customers more confident when communicating, but makes oral hygiene difficult.
Requiring complex techniques, metal braces on the inside of the teeth have a fairly high price, ranging from 80,000,000 – 115,000,000 VND/ 1 course.
3.4. Clear braces
With the development of modern technology, clear braces are the most advanced orthodontic method today with 2 popular types as follows:
3.4.1. Invisalign clear braces
Invisalign clear braces were pioneered by Align Technology from the United States in research and development. Instead of a complex system of archwires and brackets, the orthodontic appliance of this method is an orthodontic tray made of high-quality transparent plastic.
Invisalign clear aligners are designed to be personalized to fit the gums and hug the teeth of each person, so they will be almost invisible when worn. Therefore, this is the optimal choice for people with high aesthetic needs while wearing braces. In addition, the smooth, smooth surface of the braces will also avoid the situation of soft tissues such as cheeks and tongue being accidentally damaged or bleeding when worn.
Completely overcoming the disadvantages of traditional orthodontic methods, Invisalign clear aligners cost from 80,000,000 – 140,000,000 VND / 1 course.
3.4.2. Zenyum clear aligners
Zenyum is the leading clear aligner solution from Singapore and is also very popular in Vietnam thanks to its convenience and reasonable cost. Zenyum currently offers 2 solutions, ZenyumClear and ZenyumClear Plus, suitable for different oral conditions.
Specifically, the ZenyumClear course costs about 37,000,000 VND and ZenyumClear Plus costs about 65,000,000 VND/course.
