Orthodontic treatment is an excellent investment in the overall dental, medical, and psychological well being of children, teens, and adults. Orthodontics builds beautiful smiles by bringing teeth, lips, and jaws into proper alignment. Having proper tooth and jaw alignment is the foundation for a lifetime of good dental health.
Orthodontics is an important health service and we do not want financial considerations to be an obstacle to obtaining it.
- At your first appointment, if orthodontics is needed, we will discuss the cost of treatment.
- Our Office has partnered with OrthoFi to simplify financing and payments for orthodontic treatment.
- We are sensitive to the fact that different people have different needs in fulfilling their financial obligations and OrthoFi offers the most flexible down payments and convenient payment plans available. You are able to pick your preferred down payment and monthly payments.
- OrthoFi will also handle insurance submissions.
- For the most cost effective payments, ACH bank draft and debit card is preferred.
- Credit Cards will have an additional transaction fee applied to cover the cost of processing.
Orthodontic problems that are left untreated can actually lead to more extensive and expensive dental problems later, as well as a multitude of health problems that are linked to unhealthy teeth and gums. Misaligned teeth are very difficult to clean and wear down unevenly. This can lead to tooth loss, cavities, and gum disease. Medical studies have now linked gum disease to major health conditions.
From the American Academy of Periodontology: “Several research studies have associated gum disease with other chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.” (Perio.org/9-21-2010).
