While prices vary, metal braces are slightly more affordable than Invisalign trays are on average. With that being said, if your child is set up on a dental insurance plan, their provider should provide coverage for a portion of the final price. Both metal braces and Invisalign are highly effective at correcting mild to moderate alignment and bite issues. As such, the choice between the two typically depends on your budget and what you and your child’s goals are for their orthodontic treatment. We would be happy to help you decide which option is best for you and your child at Friends Family Dental and Orthodontics!
