What do braces cost?
Braces are affordable. The fee will depend on the severity of the problem to be corrected, how long treatment will take and the type of appliance recommended, so fees will vary from patient to patient. Many patients have dental insurance that includes orthodontic benefits, which can offset a portion of the fee.
Orthodontic fees vary widely, depending on the severity of the patient’s problem, complexity of treatment, length of treatment time and region of the country you live. Orthodontists routinely discuss fee arrangements after individual clinical examinations. Generally, orthodontic fees are paid as an initial down payment and interest-free monthly installments over an extended period of time during the course of treatment. Our practice accepts credit cards, and other third-party financing options, including a no-down-payment plan. In addition, many employers now include orthodontic coverage in their dental benefit programs which may significantly decrease a family’s out-of-pocket expenses toward orthodontic treatment, making braces quite affordable for most families.
