Braces in China typically cost from $2,400. Total expenses depend on the orthodontic technique, clinic tier, and the complexity of the malocclusion. In the US, similar procedures cost around $5,900 on average. Patients can save approximately 59% by choosing treatment in major Chinese medical hubs. Standard costs usually include initial consultations, digital scans, and fitting.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a clinic with international affiliations provides high-tier care at local rates. For instance, Aidencare Dental Clinic in Shanghai serves as a teaching hub for King's College London. Many top-tier centers like Anyu Dental Implant Hospital utilize Ormco systems. They also offer direct billing with global insurers like Cigna and Bupa. This simplifies payment for international patients and expatriates.

When considering Braces, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:
These are orthodontic braces that use clear or tooth-colored brackets to align teeth discretely.
These are self-ligating orthodontic braces that use a sliding mechanism to hold the wire, allowing teeth to move more freely and comfortably.
Lingual braces are dental appliances fitted behind the teeth, making them invisible from the front.
