Common Questions

Why do costs vary from patient to patient?

Treatment length and complexity drive cost. A simple 12-month case and a complex bite correction are different plans, which is why we quote after the free exam, not before.

Does insurance really lower the monthly payment?

Usually, yes. Many dental plans include orthodontic benefits, and applying them brings typical payments to around $199/month for braces or $249/month for Invisalign.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Your written quote covers the full treatment: visits, adjustments and standard retention. If anything unusual applies to your case, you will know before you start.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes, including the exam and digital X-rays, a $199 value. You get real numbers before you spend anything.
