Deciding to get braces is a big step for your oral health and self-confidence. But before you get your appliance put on, you need to know how you will pay for treatment.

Braces aren’t cheap. On the low end, they cost $3,000, and on the high end, upwards of $10,000. Then there are the additional costs to factor in, such as diagnostic images, additional appliances, and aftercare retainers.

For most people, this is more than they can pay for out of pocket. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are meant to help people reduce the burden of out-of-pocket medical expenses with or without insurance.
