Budgeting for braces: a starting point



When you or your child need orthodontics, it can seem a bit overwhelming. It’s important to know what to expect and how to maximize savings benefits, which is why many orthodontists offer free consultations for anyone seeking orthodontic treatment.


Our free consultations are two parts: first, we do a comprehensive exam where we look at the patient’s teeth, bite, gums and jaw. We discuss all relevant health concerns and identify any overcrowding, misalignment or structural issues. We’ll talk about the types of orthodontic treatments that would work best, as well what they’ll feel like and how long the process will take. This visit is key for families to get to know our staff and become comfortable with our office (we’re friendly!).


The second part of initial consultations are to talk about financing. Most dental insurances carry an orthodontic benefit to help pay for orthodontic expenses. We research your benefits and help you utilize it to its maximum potential. If you have a flexible spending account or Health Savings Accounts (HSA), we can guide you in using it for orthodontics. Additionally, most orthodontic offices offer financing, interest-free and on flexible terms that work best for your needs.


At your free consultation, bring all of your questions and concerns, as our goal is your goal: to have the most prepared, comfortable and stress-free orthodontic experience possible.
