Many parents have one main fear when they take their children to the dentist. And that’s finding out that they’re child needs braces. This is because orthodontist appointments, maintaining the braces, and the price of the braces themselves, all add up to a lot of money. And that’s money that parents don’t often have. Well for those parents who have just found out that they need to shell out huge dollars for their child’s braces, reading about the world’s most expensive braces may help them feel just a little bit better!

The braces are a creation of the London Lingual Orthodontic Clinic, and they’re perhaps some of the prettiest braces one could ever wear – although you won’t be able to see them while they’re affixed to teeth in a mouth. These braces are made of course, from gold alloy. The Clinic uses a 3D scanner and casts made of wax in order to create a totally customized pair of braces for the wearer. Not only does this make the braces much more comfortable for the wearer, but it also allows them to speak perfectly clear, which can’t be said for other braces.

And they attach to the back of the tooth so that no one can ever see them as they help repair the teeth. But, once it’s time to get those braces out, the actual braces turn into a stunning piece of jewelry. (Just don’t think about where it’s been.) The price for these couture braces are 4,000 to 8,500 pounds, or anywhere from $6,000 to $13,000 USD.
