Cost of Braces and Treatment of TMD
The cost of braces can usually vary depending on your geographic location, the type of braces used and the severity of your condition. Typically Clarity braces are higher priced than other types of braces. This is because of the many benefits Clarity braces can have in comparison to other types of metal and clear braces. Lingual braces are also higher in price than traditional types of braces. Despite the higher price tag, we have seen a steady demand for Lingual braces because they fit behind the teeth and are truly an invisible alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign treatment can also run more than traditional braces. However, most of our patients find that financing their Invisalign treatment is an easy and convenient way to achieve the smile they want.
Usually for patients with TMD, commonly known as TMJ, stabilization may be necessary before braces are used to treat the problem especially if the patient is in constant pain so there may be other costs involved aside from the cost of braces. There are insurance policies that cover treatment for jaw problems. We will work with you and your insurance provider to determine what kind of payment options you have for your condition.
It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! We offer a variety of payment options to meet your needs. Please ask us about our financing options, credit card payments and bank drafts. We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs. In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established our financial policy as follows:
- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a fee discount.
- If you have insurance, we will offer a discount for payment of your portion of the fee that will not be covered by insurance.
- To fit the needs of our patients, a financial arrangement can be made to extend your payments over a period of months following an appropriate down payment.
- For your convenience, we accept payments by cash; checks; Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards; and debit cards.
