How much do braces or Invisalign cost?
Orthodontic treatment typically ranges from $5,000–$8,000 depending on complexity and treatment type. The good news? We make it affordable with flexible monthly payment plans that work with your budget. We accept most insurance plans, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost. At your free consultation, we'll discuss financing options and get you an exact quote so there are no surprises.
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
Not at all—you're never too old! More adults are straightening their teeth than ever before, and we have discreet options like Invisalign clear aligners and ceramic braces designed with busy professionals in mind. Adult treatment transforms not just your smile, but your confidence and self-image. Schedule your free consultation to explore treatment options that fit your lifestyle.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most treatment takes 12–24 months, depending on your specific case and which option you choose. Modern techniques like Invisalign and self-ligating braces can sometimes be faster. At your free consultation, our orthodontist will evaluate your smile and give you a realistic timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
