Frequently asked questions

Why will nobody publish an exact braces price?

Because severity drives cost. A 12-month minor-crowding case and a 30-month surgical case are different products. The free consultation is how you get your real number, in writing.

Do braces cost more than Invisalign?

Metal braces are usually the most affordable appliance. Invisalign and ceramic braces typically cost somewhat more. Plans start at $149 and $199 a month respectively.

Is the down payment big?

We tailor the schedule to your budget at the consultation, and 0% in-house financing spreads the rest across treatment.

Does insurance cover braces for kids?

Many plans include orthodontic benefits for children. We verify your coverage before you commit to anything.

Ready to love your smile?
