What Affects Your Treatment Cost

No two smiles are the same. These are the factors that most commonly influence the final price of orthodontic treatment

Complexity of Your Case

Minor crowding or spacing takes less treatment time than significant bite issues or jaw discrepancies. More complex cases involve more appointments and often more advanced appliances, which affects the total cost.

Treatment Duration

Longer treatment means more adjustment appointments, more aligner trays, or more monitoring visits. A 12-month case will typically cost less than a 24-month case for the same treatment type.

Age at Start of Treatment

Children in active growth phases may benefit from early interceptive treatment, which can simplify — and reduce the cost of — later comprehensive treatment. Starting at the right time matters.

Type of Appliance

Metal braces are typically the most affordable option. Ceramic braces and invisalign carry a modest premium. Self-ligating brackets and premium aligner brands cost slightly more than standard options.

Four Ways to Reduce What You Pay

Most families use a combination of these options to make treatment very affordable

Use Your Insurance

Up to $3,000 off

Most orthodontic plans pay $1,000–$3,000 of treatment cost as a one-time lifetime benefit. We verify your coverage before your first visit and apply it directly to your balance.

Learn about insurance

Pay with FSA or HSA Funds

20–30% effective savings

Orthodontic treatment qualifies as a medical expense. Pre-tax FSA or HSA dollars reduce your effective cost by 20–30%, depending on your tax bracket.

0% In-House Payment Plans

0% interest financing

Spread your out-of-pocket cost over 12 to 36 months with zero interest. No credit check required. Use our payment estimator to see what a monthly payment would look like for your budget.
