High-Quality Care That Fits Your Budget

At Orthodontics by Dr. Ken Lawrence, patients across Mentor and Northeast Ohio get modern orthodontic care that’s truly accessible. Our office uses OrthoFi to give you flexibility with payment plans, including many interest-free options. You can choose a monthly amount that works for your budget without sacrificing quality of care.

How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost?

The cost of orthodontic care varies from patient to patient because every smile has different needs, goals, and treatment timelines. Some patients require shorter corrections, while others call for a lengthier approach.

At Orthodontics by Dr. Ken Lawrence, the priority is making treatment truly accessible for every family we serve, no matter where you are in your smile journey.

During your first visit, Dr. Lawrence and the team find out about you and your priorities, review your diagnostic records with you, talk with you about any recommended treatment, and provide clear communication about cost. You never have to guess what comes next.

From there, OrthoFi shines as it allows you to pick payment terms that fit your budget.

Do you take insurance?

We are not in-network with any insurance plans. However, you will get your full insurance benefit, and this amount is determined BEFORE you start treatment. This leads to high-quality care for all our patients as we are not forced to cut corners on our delivery of care to compensate for the fee reductions forced on in-network providers.

OrthoFi fully manages the insurance process for you. They verify your benefits, file claims on your behalf, and help you understand any orthodontic coverage your plan may provide. Further, we use a global fee structure, which means everything, from your first visit to your first set of retainers is covered by one fee. Many providers who are “in network” with insurance plans will charge separately for services that we include, such as: initial records, progress X-rays, and retainers.

Why is a global fee structure better for my family?

A global fee structure means EVERYTHING, from your first visit to your first set of retainers, is covered by one fee. Many providers on insurance plans will charge separately for services that we include, such as initial records, progress x-rays, and retainers. This often results in total fees that are equal to or exceed our global fee. Many patients get a rude surprise at other offices: even after they have already paid for treatment, removing the braces and obtaining their retainers must be paid for separately.

We have no hidden fees in our treatments.
