Frequently asked questions

How much does orthodontic treatment typically cost?

Treatment cost varies depending on the complexity of your case, your expectation, type of braces or aligners, and your insurance benefits. Braces typically range from $7,000 to $12,000, and Invisalign typically ranges from $5,500 to $9,500. During the consultation, we’ll provide itemized estimates and payment options for you.

Can I use my dental insurance to pay for orthodontic treatment?

Yes. We are in-network with a wide range of PPO insurances. Many insurances provide benefits for orthodontic treatment which will off-set your co-pay. When not in-network, we will file pre-authorization and find insurance benefits for you upon your insurance carrier’s approval. We will help you navigate your benefits for the coverage of treatment you need.

Do you accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)?

Yes.

What happens if my financial situation changes during treatment?

We understand. If that happens, please discuss your situation with the office staff immediately, as they are used to handling these scenarios. We can help you identify financial options, adjust payment schedule, and discuss alternative treatment plans.

Do I need to place a downpayment to start orthodontic treatment?

Yes, patients begin treatment with as little as $500 down.

What if I don’t have insurance?

Many of our patients without insurance have found orthodontic treatment workable for them. We have several flexible payment plans to discuss during your consultation, which include no interest options.
