Where to find cheap dental braces in Manila?

Finding cheap braces in Manila is possible if you invest a little time in doing your research to find the best possible price for your braces treatment.

Here are the tips:

1. Do your research. The first step is to do your research and compare prices from different clinics. You can ask your friends and family for recommendations, you can search online, or read the patient reviews of those clinics. Make sure the reviews are legit!
2. Consider the type of braces. The type of braces you choose will also affect the price. Metal braces are the most affordable option, while clear braces and Invisalign are more expensive. Choose braces that will also fit in your type of lifestyle, here’s a guide that will help you decide.
3. Ask about financing options. Many clinics offer financing options, so you can spread out the cost over time.
4. Get multiple quotes. One of the best strategies is to ask around and get multiple quotes before making a decision which clinic offers the best price. Make sure to consider what they include in their package. One clinic might offer cheaper braces but will charge higher fees for additional procedures.
5. Don't be embarrassed to negotiate as a lot of clinics are understanding of your limited budget. You can offer them incentives like referral deals, or discounts if paying a higher down payment in cash.

Here are some additional tips:

• Look for clinics that offer discounts for students, seniors, or loyalty package promotions.
• Consider getting braces during the off-season (usually before summer and Christmas breaks).
• Be prepared to pay for additional expenses, such as retainers, panoramic x-rays, and checkups/consultations.
• Maintain good oral hygiene. Dental clinics want to make sure that your oral health is in its best condition so they will remove all cavities, put any needed tooth fillings, perform needed tooth extractions, cleaning and any needed procedures before installing your braces. So if you take good care of your teeth, the less additional procedures needed. Some dental clinics like Avenue Dental include these additional procedures within their braces packages.
