Cost of the treatment will vary according to your choice that is metallic braces, ceramic braces or Invisalign. Cost also depends on severity of your problem, your place of living and skill/ expertise of the operator. Your age is fine for the treatment. Regarding extraction, if there is less space between your teeth than required to move your teeth into desired position after treatment, extraction is done (1 to 4 teeth) to create space. This space is occupied by tooth movement during the procedure. If you have any other doubt you can contact us personally. Hope it will help you. THANK YOU.
