Your Frequently Asked Questions About the Cost of Dental Orthodontics

Yes, the cost of orthodontics can differ between children and adults. In adults, due to the completion of jaw growth, some treatments are more complex and may require more time or additional equipment.

The cost of clear orthodontics is determined based on the number of aligners required, the severity of the tooth misalignment, the duration of treatment, and the aligner brand. The more complex the tooth correction, the higher the number of trays and the overall treatment cost.

No, clear orthodontics is mainly suitable for correcting mild to moderate misalignments. In some severe jaw issues or complex tooth rotations, fixed orthodontics may be a more appropriate option.

Yes, the cost of the retainer is usually calculated separately from the main orthodontic fee. This appliance is used to maintain treatment results and prevent tooth relapse.

Yes, installment payment for orthodontic treatment is available with terms of 30 to 50 percent down payment, with the remaining balance payable over 3, 6, or 12 months via post-dated checks with no interest or fees. The down payment percentage and installment period depend on the total treatment amount.

In most cases, the cost of clear orthodontics is higher than that of fixed orthodontics, because it uses custom aligners, digital technology, and personalized design. The final price depends on the number of trays and the complexity of the treatment.

In some cases where the issue is only in the front teeth, limited treatment is possible; however, the final decision is made after assessing the bite, the jaws, and the orthodontist’s diagnosis.

The cost of treating spaced or crowded teeth depends on the severity of the problem, and one cannot always be considered cheaper than the other. The number of tooth movements required and the treatment duration are the main determining factors for the cost.

How is the price of orthodontics for one jaw versus two jaws calculated?

The cost of single-jaw and double-jaw orthodontics is determined based on the number of teeth being treated, the degree of malocclusion, the type of orthodontic treatment, and the treatment duration. If the problem exists only in one jaw (upper or lower), the treatment cost is lower; however, with two-jaw orthodontics, due to the use of more equipment and the need to coordinate between the two jaws, the final cost increases.

On average in 2026, the “cost of orthodontics” for one jaw is usually calculated as about 50 to 70 percent of the cost of two-jaw treatment. For example, the cost of invisible orthodontics for two jaws is around 80 to 100 million Tomans; however, the cost for one jaw will be lower depending on the type of treatment and the condition of the teeth.

In the table below, we have briefly examined the price of dental orthodontics for one jaw and two jaws separately:

The cost of invisible (clear) orthodontics in 2026 for complete treatment of both jaws at King Dental Specialty Clinic. The final price of this method is determined according to the number of aligners required, the severity of tooth misalignment, the treatment duration, and the patient’s jaw condition.

Special Installment Payment Conditions for Dental Orthodontics at King Dental!

To make paying for dental orthodontic treatment more convenient, King Dental offers installment payment options with special terms. Patients can pay 30 to 50 percent of the total treatment cost as a down payment, and the remaining balance can be paid over 3, 6, or 12 months via post-dated checks with no interest or fees. The down payment percentage and the number of installments are determined based on the type of orthodontics, the final treatment cost, and the patient’s conditions.

For example, if your clear orthodontic treatment costs 100 million Tomans, you can pay 50 percent of the initial amount (50 million Tomans) as a down payment and pay the remaining 50 million Tomans in several installments. The table below also provides examples of costs for various orthodontic treatments:

Total Treatment Cost 30% Down Payment Remaining Balance for Installments
100 million Tomans (e.g., two-jaw clear orthodontics) 30 million Tomans 70 million Tomans

Depending on each patient’s financial situation, it is possible to arrange the payment period over 3, 6, or 12 months, allowing orthodontic treatment to proceed without financial strain and with better planning. For information on the exact installment terms, the final amount and payment schedule will be communicated to you after the initial examination and treatment plan are determined.

What factors affect the price of dental orthodontics?

  • Type of orthodontic system chosen: The most important factor determining the cost of dental orthodontics is the type of orthodontic system. Fixed metal orthodontics generally costs less than ceramic and invisible orthodontics, because the equipment and technology used in aesthetic methods are more advanced.
  • Severity of tooth misalignment and treatment complexity: The greater the crowding, spacing, or jaw problems, the more time and adjustments the treatment will require, resulting in a higher final cost.
  • Number of jaws treated: Single-jaw orthodontics generally costs less than two-jaw treatment. If both jaws need to be treated to correct the bite and coordinate the upper and lower jaws, the amount of equipment and number of follow-up sessions will increase.
  • Duration of orthodontic treatment: The length of the treatment period affects the final cost. Treatments that require more sessions, longer adjustments, and more follow-up care generally come with a higher price tag.
  • Type of bracket and equipment used: The use of ceramic brackets, Damon systems, clear aligners, or digital equipment can increase the cost of orthodontics compared to conventional methods.
  • Need for adjunctive treatments before or during orthodontics: If the patient requires services such as scaling, filling cavities, gum treatment, or tooth extraction before starting orthodontics, these costs are added separately to the overall treatment cost.
  • Experience of the orthodontist and quality of clinic services: The specialist’s experience, quality of equipment, precision in treatment planning, and number of follow-up sessions are factors that can affect the cost of orthodontics.

Additional orthodontic costs you should be aware of before starting treatment!

  • Specialized dental imaging (OPG and cephalometry): Before starting orthodontics, imaging of the teeth and jaws is usually required to assess the condition of the roots, jawbone, and tooth positioning.
  • Digital scanning or dental impressions: For precise treatment planning, fabrication of clear aligners, or evaluation of tooth misalignment, 3D scanning or impressions may be performed.
  • Scaling and dental cleaning: If there is significant calculus or plaque on the teeth, scaling is usually done before bracket placement to maintain gum and tooth health.
  • Restoration of decayed teeth: Any decay, fractures, or dental damage must be addressed before starting orthodontics so that no further issues arise during treatment.
  • Treatment of gum problems: Patients with inflammation, bleeding, or periodontal disease must first undergo necessary treatments to ensure tooth movement occurs in a healthy condition.
  • Tooth extraction in certain conditions: In cases where there is insufficient space for proper tooth alignment, the orthodontist may recommend extracting one or more teeth to create adequate space.
  • Surgery or extraction of wisdom teeth: If wisdom teeth cause pressure, displacement of other teeth, or interfere with the treatment process, extraction may be required before or during orthodontic treatment.
  • Use of orthodontic mini-screws (TADs): In some complex treatments, mini-screws are used to achieve better control of tooth movement, and their cost is usually calculated separately from the main orthodontic fee.
  • Cost of retainers after orthodontic treatment: After treatment completion, retainers are usually required to prevent tooth relapse, and their cost should be factored into the treatment plan.
  • Repair of equipment or unforeseen costs: Broken brackets, damaged archwires, or lost clear aligners may incur additional costs during the course of treatment.

What are the strategies for reducing the cost of dental orthodontics?

  1. Starting treatment at the right time: Early diagnosis and treatment of dental issues can prevent the malocclusion from becoming more complex and avoid future cost increases.
  2. Performing necessary treatments before starting orthodontics: Resolving decay, gum problems, and scaling before orthodontics prevents additional costs during treatment.
  3. Comparing different orthodontic methods: Reviewing the cost differences between fixed metal, ceramic, and invisible orthodontics helps you choose the best option based on your needs and budget.
  4. Using the clinic’s installment payment options: Choosing a clinic like King Dental that offers phased or installment payment plans reduces the financial burden of treatment.
  5. Carefully following orthodontic care instructions: Maintaining good hygiene, preventing broken brackets, and taking care of the equipment will reduce repair costs and the need for extra sessions.
  6. Preventing treatment delays: Postponing orthodontic treatment may cause the problem to worsen, increasing both the treatment time and cost.
  7. Using insurance or treatment coverage if possible: Checking your supplementary insurance terms may, in some cases, reduce a portion of the treatment-related costs. At King Dental, we are only contracted with Bank Sepah insurance. If you have this insurance, you can use King Dental services with your coverage.
  8. Attending regular orthodontic check-up sessions: Showing up consistently at the times scheduled by the specialist ensures better treatment progress and prevents the orthodontic period from being prolonged.

What is the specialist's role in reducing orthodontic costs?

Choosing an experienced orthodontist such as Dr. Meraj Parhizkari can help reduce long-term treatment costs; because accurate diagnosis and proper treatment planning prevent unnecessary procedures, prolonged treatment duration, and the need for corrective revisions. A specialist can use the following methods through correct and thorough consultation to help reduce your orthodontic treatment costs:

  • Accurate diagnosis of dental and jaw problems
  • Choosing the appropriate method based on the patient’s condition
  • Preventing the treatment from being prolonged
  • Reducing the likelihood of treatment failure or relapse
  • Preventing unnecessary additional costs

If we don't do orthodontics, what costs will you incur in the future?

Delaying orthodontics does not always cause problems, but in individuals with dental or jaw abnormalities, the progression of the issue may lead to more complex treatments and higher costs later. Some possible costs include:

  • Increased severity of tooth misalignment: Over time, tooth displacement may worsen, requiring longer treatment and more equipment in the future.
  • Cost of treating tooth decay: Crowded and overlapping teeth are harder to clean, increasing the likelihood of plaque buildup, decay, and the need for multiple restorations.
  • Cost of treating gum problems: Misaligned teeth can make oral hygiene more difficult and increase the risk of gum inflammation, bleeding, and related periodontal treatments.
  • Tooth wear and early damage: Improper positioning and contact of teeth may cause enamel wear, cracking, or the need for restorations and crowns.
  • Increased likelihood of jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems: In some individuals, not correcting bite issues can put more pressure on the jaw joint, leading to jaw pain, joint clicking, or the need for more specialized treatments.
  • Need for more complex treatments at an older age: Treating certain abnormalities at a younger age is simpler, and delaying treatment may prolong the treatment period and increase costs.
  • Future cosmetic dentistry costs: Severe tooth misalignment may lead to the need for cosmetic procedures such as dental composite bonding, veneers, or other aesthetic corrections in addition to orthodontics.
  • Possibility of needing tooth extraction or additional complementary treatments: In some cases, delaying treatment can complicate the condition and require more auxiliary procedures before or during orthodontics.
