Cost of Dental Braces - Why so expensive and so different in Tropicana, Damansara, Petaling Jaya and surrounding areas.
Have you ever called a clinic asking only for the price of braces—and hung up feeling unsure?
Let’s unpack what that number often leaves out, why true transparency matters, and how Tropicana Dental serves locals in PJ and Damansara with integrity.
Typical Braces Prices in Tropicana, PJ & Damansara
- Metal braces: RM 4,000–9,000
- Damon braces (specialist): RM 8,000–10,000+
- Clear aligners: RM 10,000–20,000+ both jaws.
Single Jaw prices will differ case by case.
These prices reflect current market rates and Tropicana Dental’s own pricing structure.
What the Low Price Often Leaves Out
Many price quotes do not include:
- Consultation fees
- X-rays or CBCT scans
- Retainers
- Monthly reviews
- Emergency appointments
- Extractions or treatment extensions
These items can quietly add RM 1,000–2,000+ to your final bill.
Why Braces Cost Differ Clinic to Clinic
Not all braces are created equal. Costs vary due to:
- Case complexity and treatment duration
- Who’s treating you — general dentist vs orthodontic specialist
- Clinic location and overhead (PJ vs lower-rent areas)
Why the “Cheapest” Might Cost You More
That attractive low quote might:
- Not include a retainer → You’ll pay RM 500 -700 per jaw later
- Limit follow-up visits → Each additional review may be charged
- Skip key diagnostics like full scans or wire upgrades
- Stretch treatment beyond original plan with new costs
