How much does it cost to get dental surgery at the age of 22?

In daily life, some people have congenital abnormalities in the growth and development of their teeth. Therefore, it often does not look very beautiful and affects the patient's appearance. Many young people are more concerned about the problem of malocclusion and would treat this symptom through correction. However, in clinical medicine, if the side teeth are deformed, it is more appropriate to correct them at a specific age. So how much does orthodontic treatment generally cost for a 22-year-old patient? Let’s take a look at this issue below!

1. Orthodontic treatment should be based on the degree of the patient's malocclusion and the appropriate plan should be selected. Generally, the charging standards are somewhat different. Under normal circumstances, patients cannot take off or wear ordinary fixed braces by themselves. The charges for this type of braces will be relatively cheaper, usually around 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.

2. Some hospitals charge fees based on the number of teeth corrected for orthodontic treatment. Generally speaking, the charge for ordinary wire braces may be around 100 to 200 yuan per piece. Some better braces are more expensive, and ceramic braces may cost around 300 to 500 yuan per piece. Some excellent dental braces abroad even cost nearly 1,000 yuan per tooth.

3. Please note that if you want to get orthodontic treatment, it is best to go to a reliable hospital. Although the charges may be relatively high, the correction effect will be relatively better for the patient. Since 22 years old is a relatively old age, the braces may need to be worn for a longer time, especially for patients with more serious malocclusion, who generally need to wear them for about one and a half to more than two years.
