The Costs of Orthodontic Treatment
Parents have many concerns regarding the costs of raising
kids and educating them. One of them should not be; can I
afford to have orthodontic treatment, or what sacrifices does
the family need to make to allow my child to have that beauti-
ful smile? That is why many orthodontic offices allow for a
free initial consultation and no referral requirement.

payment, which can be $500 or more. Depending upon the
office philosophy, individual considerations can be undertaken and this large
initial payment all but eliminated.
People still should have an idea of what expenses are in the suburban Detroit
area. Upon an internet search and investigation it will be found that as of June
2002, fees for an initial exam ranged from free to $50. Fees for an adolescent to
have comprehensive orthodontics ranged from $4000 to $5750. Adult compre-
hensive orthodontic fees averaged $750 more. Replacement retainers averaged
$300 each. With this variation in fees you should talk with your kid's friends
(that have had treatment) and parents to see that they are pleased with their
selection.
You should be comfortable to ask what fee range the orthodontic office is in, at
the initial appointment and exam. Also what is included in this fee or are there
extra fees for orthodontic records, retainers, x-rays, broken brackets etc.? You
may be assured that an orthodontic specialist (one who has graduated an accred-
ited specialty program full time between 2-3 additional years after dental school)
is a licensed specialist and should give you quality and value.
