Treatment fees
The fee depends on the treatment goals, complexity, appliance and expected duration. After the orthodontist evaluates you and recommends a plan, the treatment coordinator can provide a written estimate and explain what it includes.
Dental insurance
Many dental plans treat orthodontic benefits differently from routine dental benefits. Coverage may involve age limits, lifetime maximums, waiting periods or payment over time. We can review available benefit information, but the insurance company makes the final coverage determination.
Flexible payment options
The practice offers flexible payment arrangements. Available terms and any outside financing options should be reviewed with the treatment coordinator based on the proposed plan.
Questions to ask
- What is included in the quoted treatment fee?
- Is there a down payment?
- What monthly arrangements are available?
- What does my plan report as an orthodontic benefit?
- How are changes in coverage handled during treatment?
