I think your orthodontist will tell you.
Mine were around $4000 I believe.
I had to get this funky appliance as well to fix my bite. I had braces on for about 2 years. If you have any other questions about braces, ask me!

If you get the clear Invisalign type it may be a bit more.
I got Invisalign Teen and it was ~$5,500.

i think mine are about $5K or so. I've had em for over a year and getting them off in the summer. I'm gonna be real happy with em. I could see some improvement in like the first few months, its pretty great. But ya they hurt so much when you first get em, but dont let that steer you away from getting them.

Completely different depending on where you go.
If you go to the right place, with the right insurance, they could be free.
However I went to a specialist, and had to pay thousands of dollars.. Oh well.
For the most accurate answer, I'd suggest talking to your local orthodontist about it, as he/she will be able to give an accurate answer.

@ Jockboy14, if your braces were $5, I wish I had your orthodontist.
Some insurances cover the entire cost, but our health care system is quite corrupt and it'll all depend on the insurance company and the orthodontist you go to. At the time, mine were about $5,000 but worth every penny. I love my smile and get complimented on it all the time.

Mine were about $4000 and I think insurance covered half so we were left with about $2000.
But I believe that the price is definitely worth the lifetime amazing results

I'll guess your in the US...
but if your in the UK you can get some free on the NHS if you're teeth are bad enough, like I did.
You can also pay to have them done privatly but it costs thousands of pounds.

Yeh like Kathy says if you in the UK they are free with the NHS.
Reading the above stuff makes me glad I live in Scotland. :P

I guess if it's not to late it might be worth mentioning that I have six replacement trays if I loose them.

Like the average here, mine were $5000 and insurance covered a lot. My ortho had a payment plan thing where we paid a sum each month until they were paid off cause my mom didnt feel like dropping that much money at one time haha.

K. Well I got mine for about $2300! My sis works there, so I got me discount, but normal braces like mine, are like $5000 and the clear ones are around $10,000 mabe. This is where I live so I'm pretty lucky.

Mine were over $5K, i dont really remember how much but my mom works for the government so the insurance covered most of it. I had mine for 5 years too (yeah my teeth were really bad lol) so that might have added a lot to the cost, but imo its totally worth it.
