Hey guys, how's it going?
Today I'll be talking about braces treatment time and cost. A person may wear a braces ranging from 6 months to 6 years, depending on his/her condition. But, after thorough research, we've discovered that the most common duration would be 2 years and 4 months, 28 months. Because this is such a long time, you should use novel planning and positioning techniques to shorten this duration.
Cost of braces varies with the country, regions, whether both arches ( up and down of teeth) are being treated and the duration of treatment.
Nevertheless, the price of braces is almost the same but yet different due to the currencies.
The price range is $3000-$5000. The currency depends on your country.
That is all about time and cost of braces. Thanks for reading.

Complications
Though braces is awesome and all, everything has a price to it (not just a few grand!).
When you've gotten your braces, make sure you brush properly and use the special toothbrush or else you might get plague.
Not only that, you might also get mouth sores.
But one thing's for sure, you'll get a little ounce right after you get the braces.
This is because you're mouth isn't familiar with the "alien" in your mouth.
But all in all, it'll turn out great. So, don't worry alright?
Thanks for reading, have a good day!

An Orthodontic Device
Retainers are something that is required after the braces treatment is complete.
This is not necessary as it depends on the patient's needs.
If the patient don't need it, then retainers won't be needed.
If a patient needs a retainer but don't wear it, his teeth will relapse, or return to normal. So as you can see, retainers are important too.
Basically a patient can wear the retainer at night but if the orthodontist should tell you to wear it at day too, then do so.

Types of Braces 2
Well here's the others i promised! Hope you like it!
These are the types of braces that i left out.
1. Invisalign braces are used to finalize the braces process by shifting the teeth into their final position. This type of braces is not meant for complex orthodontic cases.
2. There is also a concept under research about "Smart Braces" where the bracket contains a microchip that measures the force needed to align the teeth. This is to decrease braces duration and provide a safer and surer way of braces.
3. Lastly, there's a braces called A-braces. These types of braces are completely maneuverable by the patient. It means that the braces can be shifted and moved according to desire. These braces are often used as self-adjustable retainers.
