How much do braces and Invisalign cost in Las Vegas?

Metal & ceramic braces

$3,000 to $6,000

The workhorse option, and the most flexible for complex cases.

Invisalign & clear aligners

$3,500 to $7,500

Discreet and removable. Popular with Vegas teens and adults.

Good news on payment: Most Las Vegas orthodontists break treatment into monthly plans and take major PPO dental insurance, with financing like CareCredit or Cherry available. Before you sign, ask what the quote covers. Records, retainers, and follow-up visits should all be included.

Does Nevada Medicaid cover braces in Las Vegas?

Sometimes, for kids. Nevada Medicaid covers orthodontics for patients under 21 only when braces are medically necessary, such as a severe, handicapping bite problem, and always with prior authorization. Routine or cosmetic alignment is not covered. If you think your child may qualify, ask an orthodontist to evaluate and submit for approval.

Quick tip: Use the Medicaid filter on this page to find Las Vegas practices that accept it.

Braces, Invisalign, or clear aligners?

Kids and teens often do great with traditional braces, especially for bigger bite corrections, while plenty of Las Vegas adults lean toward Invisalign because it is barely noticeable at work and comes out at dinner. Clear aligners, including newer systems like Angel Aligners, sit in between. The right pick depends on your case, your routine, and your budget, and a good consultation will walk you through all three.

Private practice or corporate group?

It is the question almost nobody tells you to ask, and it shapes your experience more than you would expect. At a privately owned office, the orthodontist treating your kid is usually the same person whose name is on the door. Corporate-backed offices can be a fine fit too, often with longer hours and several locations, though their plans sometimes follow company playbooks. There is no universally right answer, only the one that fits your family.

Why we show ownership: Every listing here is labeled private or corporate up front, so you know exactly who you are walking in to see.

How to pick the right Las Vegas orthodontist

Start with board certification. Becoming a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics is voluntary, so the orthodontists who earn it are showing they went the extra mile. From there, ask how consultations work, what happens in an after-hours emergency, and whether they actually offer the treatment you want. Then trust your gut after the first visit.

How long does treatment take?Most people finish in 12 to 24 months. Straightforward cases move faster, and trickier ones take a little longer.
