This is a question best answered by your orthodontist after a full assessment. The cost of braces will depend on many factors: how long the treatment is going to take, your preference on brace types, any additional braces/procedure needed, what is included in the aftercare, whether the person treating you is a specialist orthodontist or a dentist. In Ireland, orthodontic treatment is tax deductible at a rate of 20% which means you can claim back 20% of the cost of your treatment or the cost of your children’s treatment. Most orthodontic clinics offer finance options so the cost of the treatment can be paid over the duration of care.
