How much does it cost to get your teeth striaghtened? What about for getting white teeth?

Fees will always vary from one practice to another, but orthodontics fees can run anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the complexity of the case and who treats it.

Likewise for "whitening." Fees for home bleaching trays typically run a few hundred dollars, and the more invasive in-office procedures get more expensive from there.

Then you have geographic variation, specialists vs. GP's, etc. Your best bet is just to pick up the phone and call a few offices to inquire about their fees.

(Before anyone gets on my case for applying double standards, notice that nowhere did s/he ask for treatment advice. 😉)

Come to Utah, they are giving away free teeth whitening and free bleach for life to compete with each other.

It's not so much when you look at the breakdown. $169.43 for the whitening and $225 per tooth straightened.

She'll be the envy of the neighborhood with those movie-star third molars. 😀

Slightly more per tooth if you have had your 3rds removed.

Just one more reason I'll gladly stay here in backwards ol' Indiana to practice.
