Cost & financing

Clear numbers before you commit.

Every smile is different, so fees are set after your orthodontist examines your teeth. You leave your consultation knowing the plan, the full fee and your payment options — in writing — before you decide.

What affects the fee

Four things that shape the cost.

  • What needs correcting

    Crowding, spacing and bite issues differ in complexity, and complexity shapes the plan.

  • The type of appliance

    Metal braces, clear braces and clear aligners have different costs.

  • How long treatment runs

    Longer or phased treatment (for example, early treatment for a child) affects the total.

  • What the fee includes

    Ask what is included — records, visits, emergency visits and retainers — so you can compare plans fairly.

Paying for treatment

Insurance, plans and benefits.

  • Your full fee, before you commit

    At your consultation you receive the full treatment fee, what it includes, and your payment options in writing.

  • Monthly payment plans

    Monthly payment plans through OrthoFi, no-interest financing and a pay-in-full discount, with the down payment and monthly amount set around your budget.

  • Insurance and HSA/FSA

    We help you use orthodontic insurance benefits and HSA/FSA funds, and accept most major credit cards.

  • TRICARE

    We are in network with the TRICARE Dental Program and with FEDVIP dental plans for military retirees, for orthodontics where your plan includes it.

Estimate a monthly payment — an estimate only; your actual fee is set at your consultation.
