My daughter was in braces for 18 mos. I paid $2500 cash up front. Negotiated. All inclusive, xrays/fitting/monthly visits/extra cleanings etc. Well known dental group with large practice. We've talked to several friends who have had there kids in braces at the same practice. With insurance the round numbers parents have thrown out have been in the $5k range.
Our dental coverage was through the state (TPA under BC/BS) it was awful and we looked into this the year before we did the braces. With the coverage provided through my wife's work the total annual premium was actually $400 higher than the maximum amount of benefit the coverage would provide. It pays to read the fine print. -J
