Fees will vary from area to area state to state
Fees will vary depending on where you live and on the complexity of the case. The average case fee for an adolescent for 18 to 24 month treatment will range from approximately $4500-$5500 in my area. Most orthodontists will also give a 5-7% discount if the fee is paid in full. The fee can usually be incorporated into a payment plan spread out over the course of treatment.
