Affordable braces and Invisalign

Cost and Insurance

The cost of orthodontic treatment is determined by many factors including how difficult your smile will be to correct and how long treatment will take. For example, if your child is receiving early Phase I treatment, their plan and costs will be different from an adult patient’s comprehensive treatment. If you’re a candidate for Invisalign, your cost may be different than that of a patient who is getting braces.

What Is The Cost Of Braces Or Invisalign?

After determining your individual treatment needs at the consultation, our financial experts will review the details about pricing and the financial arrangements available. While “how much?” is one of the top questions we receive from new patients, the important thing to know is that we will work with you to make your treatment affordable. That means coming up with a payment plan option that is functional for you and your budget.
