How Much Extra Does A Clear Archwire Cost?

Hi, I was wondering approximately how much extra would it cost to get a clear arch wire? Also, how much less would it be to just get clear brackets on only the front 6 teeth on the upper jaw as opposed to getting clear brackets on the entire upper jaw. Thanks

It sounds as if you listened well and asked the right questions if you had an orthodontic consult! It is common for people to get just the front 6 upper teeth in clear brackets instead of the whole arch. Normally the average cost extra runs from 25$/50$ extra per bracket to have the clear ones. Every office is different but that is roughly the average cost. The archwires that are placed normally run in the typical metal or sliver one and a metal.wire wrapped in a white coating. The office normally.includes this in your average cost when paying for the clear brackets. It is not clear! Keep in mind it is white. It does blend well with your teeth though making it hard to see while on. When getting a quote from your orthodontist for the clear brackets on those front 6 teeth you should ask if they offer the white wire or just the metal one.some office offer the clear brackets but the wire is still the traditional sliver metal wire. If this is something you do not want again be sure to ask if they have the other wires. If they do not they may be able to order them for you while you are in treatment.Be sure to ask if the cost of them if they have to be specially ordered for you if it is going to cost you anything extra. Remember they may be another option for you as well! Most orthodontic.office offer invisalign as well. You may be a canidate for that. Always ask what you options will be before agreeing to one type of braces. Hope this helps Anwser your questions
