Metal Brackets Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Metal braces are fixed orthodontic appliances, made of steel, that attach to the teeth and, by means of a wire, gradually move them into their correct position.
What are they for? They correct dental alignment and bite problems, both for oral health and cosmetic reasons, and are one of the most widely used options.
What to expect? Treatment lasts several months and includes periodic adjustments; during that time it is important to reinforce oral hygiene.
Who places them? They are applied by the orthodontist, the general dentist, or the dentist. To find out whether they are the best option for your case, the recommended step is an orthodontic assessment with a professional.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
