Braces Removal Price in Mexico — 2026 Comparison
Braces removal is the dental procedure used to take off fixed appliances at the end of orthodontic treatment, detaching them from the teeth and cleaning off any remaining adhesive.
What does it include? In addition to removing the brackets, it usually includes polishing the enamel and, often, placing a retainer to keep the teeth's new position.
What to expect? It is a cut-free process done in the office; afterward it's normal for the teeth to feel different to the touch.
Which specialist performs it? It is carried out by the dentist or odontologist, and by the pediatric dentist in children. If you're about to finish your orthodontic treatment, it's a good idea to talk with your dentist about the removal and how to maintain the results long-term.

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.
