Orthodontists and Invisalign Take a Bite Out of Your Bank Account Now to the price: two years of braces cost $6,700 for each kid.

The second time I was steadier, but the voice in my head screaming, "What the f---?" did not stop for days. My insurance only paid $2,000 per kid. At the risk of sounding incredibly old, do you know how much I paid for my first car? Nine hundred dollars. My current car is only worth half of the cost of one set of braces. The cost is explained as orthodontists needing to pay for "a lot of specialized, expensive equipment and to pay their staff and their rent.

Most of an orthodontist's fee goes to paying their fixed cost." If they just added in a sentence here about also paying for their three homes and the yacht, I'd feel less violated. My kids' orthodontist takes almost every Friday off to go sailing, or so I've heard. Nice work if you can get it. We take out a home equity loan and get the braces.
