So what is the cheapest type of braces?

If you want to straighten your teeth on a tight budget, go for regular metal braces. These are always the cheapest option in any clinic. Not only is it more affordable than other braces, it is the most effective. This is one of the rare situations where something is good AND cheap. So it is not surprising that it is the most popular type of braces in the world. The downside? Metal braces are the most visible. So if you want something discreet, consider other options. But the good thing is, most students don’t mind the metal appearance. In our experience treating thousands of students, many even prefer metal braces because they get to personalize their braces by choosing coloured rubber bands to tie over them.

FAQ

What happens if my treatment takes longer than my payment plan?

Once your braces treatment fees are fully paid, no further payment is needed until the day you remove your braces. When you remove your braces, your retainer fees are collected.

What if my treatment ends before my payment plan?

Your fees are a fixed amount so you don’t have to worry about unexpected costs. If your treatment ends before full payment, the remaining braces treatment fee will be collected together with your retainers fee on the day of braces removal.

Are these prices truly affordable?

As a general comparison, here are some prices published by Singapore’s Ministry Of Health (in 2018). Do note that these prices excluded the initial consultation and X-rays.
