Ceramic braces cost can vary between $4,000 to $8,000. Just like other braces, they are not normally covered by medical or dental insurance plans. If you want to have part of the cost covered, you will need to purchase a separate orthodontic plan. Even if your dental plan covers orthodontic treatment, braces may still not be covered if you are getting them for cosmetic purposes. You can expect to be reimbursed if you undergo this type of treatment to correct severe malocclusion or other dental disorders that impact normal oral functioning.
