Observed dataObserved negotiated rates. Every figure here is a real negotiated amount taken from payer files published under the federal Transparency in Coverage rule. These are what a dental plan pays a contracted practice - not a cash price.

Estimated self-payEstimated self-pay range, not an observation. We do not have observed cash prices, and we will not present a modelled number as though we did. This range is the upper half of the same observed negotiated distribution, shown because an uninsured patient generally pays at or above the highest negotiated tier. Treat it as a budgeting aid and ask any practice for a written quote.

What shopping around is worth in Orlando

Every figure on this site is a distribution, not an average, so the gap between the cheaper and dearer end of the local market can be stated in dollars. On Full braces, adult alone, the difference between a practice at the 25th percentile and one at the 75th is $1,135. Across the 6 treatments below it comes to $3,595.

Observed negotiated prices in Orlando, FL. The gap is what moving from an expensive practice to a cheaper one is worth for the same treatment.

Full braces, teenager	$3,841	$4,895	$1,054	38

This is an argument for collecting itemised written quotes rather than accepting the first, particularly on the larger items — see how to read a treatment plan.

Lower-cost care in Orlando

These are federally funded health centres in Orlando. They charge on a sliding scale based on your income, which usually makes them the cheapest route if you are uninsured. The federal dataset does not record which sites provide dentistry — many do, but call first and ask specifically about dental services and sliding-scale eligibility.

Common questions

How many Orlando practices are behind these figures?

Between 38 and 68 depending on the treatment, shown per row above. A Orlando figure is published only when at least 8 separate practices in the city carried a negotiated rate for it.

Will a Orlando dentist charge me these amounts?

Not if you are paying cash. These are rates negotiated between plans and contracted practices in Orlando. Uninsured patients are normally quoted higher. Ask any practice for an itemised written quote — that is the only number that binds them.
