What is the Price of Traditional Metal Braces in Canada in 2026?

Based on the information provided by Smilo Family Dental, the cost of traditional metal braces in Canada for 2026 typically follows these general estimates:

  • General Cost Range: Traditional metal braces generally range from $3,000 to $8,000.
  • Average Estimate: In many cases, the average cost for metal braces specifically falls between $3,000 and $7,000.

These figures align with the Canadian Dental Association fee data. However, the final price is determined by several individual factors, including:

  • The severity of tooth misalignment.
  • The duration of the treatment (typically 12–24 months for metal braces).
  • Whether additional procedures, such as extractions, are required.

To make treatment more accessible, dental offices often provide orthodontic payment plans featuring interest-free monthly installments and assistance with maximizing dental insurance benefits. Because every case is unique, a comprehensive exam and a 3D iTero scan are used to provide a personalized custom quote.
