What’s Included In Your Orthodontic Treatment Fee
Your investment covers all essential components of your orthodontic care, including:
- Diagnostic records, such as X-rays and imaging, for treatment planning
- A personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs

What Isn’t Included
While your treatment fee is comprehensive, certain items are not included:
- Replacement retainers if lost or damaged
- Treatment provided by other dental professionals outside our office
- Additional treatment due to injury, TMJ complications, or surgical needs
- Costs related to changes in insurance coverage during treatment
If any of these situations arise, our team will review all details with you before proceeding.
Are Monthly Payment Plans Available For Braces And Clear Aligners?
Yes. Many patients choose to spread out the cost of treatment with flexible monthly payment plans. We’ll help you select a plan that fits your budget and clearly explain all details during your consultation.
How Does Orthodontic Insurance Work?
If your insurance includes orthodontic benefits, it can help reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Most plans provide a lifetime orthodontic benefit separate from standard dental coverage.
Here’s how we make the process simple:
- We verify your benefits before treatment begins
- We explain how your coverage applies to your treatment
- We file insurance claims on your behalf
If your insurance changes during treatment, any remaining balance will become the patient’s responsibility.
Can Our Team Help You Understand Your Coverage?
Absolutely. Insurance can be confusing, but our team is here to help. We’ll walk you through your benefits step by step and make sure you understand your options so you can make the best decision for your care.
