Using Your Insurance
If your dental insurance includes orthodontic benefits, it may help reduce your out-of-pocket cost. We work with PPO insurance plans and help throughout the process: our office submits insurance claims on your behalf, accepts direct payment from carriers when available, helps maximize your benefits, and can finance any remaining balance in-office. If your plan reimburses you directly, we provide all the documentation to make it easy. Our Treatment Coordinator reviews your coverage with you so you understand your benefits and expected costs.
What Is Included in Your Treatment Fee
Your comprehensive exam and records, digital imaging and treatment planning, all scheduled adjustment visits, your appliances or clear aligners, routine orthodontic care during treatment, and progress monitoring with a final evaluation.
