The fee for your treatment is determined by a variety of factors, including the severity of the problem to be corrected, as well as the anticipated length of treatment.  The type of “appliance” (the formal name for braces, aligners, retainers, etc.) may also be a consideration.  It is best to schedule a consultation to determine what kind of treatment, length of treatment, and recommended appliances is suitable for you or your child's orthodontic needs.

Our office accepts a wide range of PPO insurances whether you are "in-network" or "out of network."

It is our goal to provide you with high-quality and affordable orthodontic treatment and price transparency. We offer payment plan options and accept a wide range of dental insurances. We will help you determine the extent of your orthodontic coverage based on the insurance information that you provide so please make sure that you provide our office with any applicable information such as the insured's ID or social security number, insurance company, and group number.  Please give our office a call for more information regarding your specific insurance plan or you can reach out directly to your insurance provider for more details on your particular benefit plan and to check whether or not you are in or out of network.

No! Insurance is not required to have orthodontic treatment. We will work with you to develop a financial plan that fits your budget.

Yes!  You can use your FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account).

​A FSA (Flex Spending Account) and/or HSA (Health Savings Account) is money taken out of your paycheck by your employer and put into an account which can be used for dental/medical expenses, including orthodontic treatment. There is a cap on how much you can put side each year as well as a set deadline each year for submitting your request. Some plans pay monthly and others pay annually.  You will need to contact your HR Department for details about their specific plan.

Generally, most insurances will pay over a span of time while you are in orthodontic treatment and not pay all at once when you start.  It is very important you maintain your insurance plan during your treatment otherwise you may not receive your full benefit.   If your insurance is terminated mid-treatment and there is still a balance, the balance will transfer to the responsible party and a courtesy payment plan can be created.

If you are changing insurance plans mid-treatment, it is your responsibility to check whether your new plan provides benefits for Treatment in Progress or has a Waiting Period for Orthodontic Services. You will need to check whether you are eligible for No Benefits, Partial Benefits, or Full Benefits.  Please notify our office immediately with your updated information, so that we can see whether it is possible to apply the new benefits to your account. Payment by your insurance provider is not guaranteed until your claim has been processed.

Please notify our office in advance if you do have dual insurance. We will check your insurances and  benefits to see if we are able to apply both insurances to your estimate.

It is your responsibility to verify whether your spouse’s plan offers Coordination of Benefits, requires a Waiting Period, charges a Deductible, or has a Non-Duplication Clause.  The secondary insurance may pay nothing, a pro-rated benefit, or a full benefit. Please notify our office immediately with your updated information so that we can see whether it is possible to apply the new benefits to your account.

Please notify our office immediately. The amount not paid by your insurance will be your responsibility to pay and will be added to your account. However, we can often work out a payment plan.
