We like to view orthodontic treatment as An Investment for a Lifetime! Many orthodontic problems, if left untreated, can create far more costly problems in the future. The cost is quite modest considering the lifetime of dental as well as psychological benefits that orthodontics care can provide.
Although dental health concerns are frequently the primary reason for orthodontic treatment, treatment is also initiated for the patient's well-being.
Dramatic changes in a person's smile and facial appearance can be achieved. A person’s appearance and smile has been related to social behaviors, self-expectation, self-image and self-esteem. There can be little doubt that an attractive facial appearance and smile can increase self-confidence and, in turn, improve the quality of life. An improved smile for a child can mean freedom from self-consciousness and for adults an improved social life.

Insurance
Our office is committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Because insurance policies vary, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith, but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. As a service to our patients, we will help you receive your maximum benefit.
- Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.
With our creative financing, anyone can enjoy the benefits of modern orthodontics. We strive hard to eliminate the financial barriers to orthodontic treatment because we believe everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile to last a lifetime.
