FAQ
When Will I Find Out Exactly How Much My Treatment Will Cost?
You will receive a detailed fee estimate at your initial consultation. After the doctor recommends a treatment plan, our financial coordinator will review total costs, available payment options, and any estimated insurance benefits so you can make an informed decision before starting.
Do You Offer Payment Plans For Orthodontic Treatment?
Yes. We offer flexible monthly payment plans so you do not have to pay the full treatment fee upfront. Together, we will design a plan that fits your budget, often spreading payments over the time you are in treatment. Many patients combine payment plans with insurance benefits to keep costs manageable.
Is Orthodontic Treatment Always More Expensive For Adults Than For Teens?
Not necessarily. The cost of treatment is based more on the complexity of the case and the type of appliances used than on age alone. Some adult treatments are limited or focused on specific concerns and may fall toward the lower end of the fee range, while more complex teen cases can be higher.
What If My Insurance Changes During Treatment?
If your insurance coverage changes, our team will help you understand how that affects your remaining balance. We will update your account with any new benefits and adjust payment arrangements as needed. However, patients are ultimately responsible for the full treatment fee if insurance payments decrease or stop.
Can Insurance Help Reduce The Cost Of Treatment?
Most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits can help lower your out-of-pocket costs. Our team will check your coverage, provide an estimated insurance contribution, and file claims on your behalf whenever possible.
