How much do braces or Invisalign cost?

Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
Not at all! Adults of every age are achieving beautiful smile transformations with modern braces and Invisalign. If you're worried about appearance, Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, and ceramic braces are discreet. Many adults tell us orthodontic treatment was the best investment they ever made. Schedule your free consultation to explore your options.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most treatment takes 12–24 months, though it varies by case complexity. Modern techniques and Invisalign can sometimes deliver faster results. Our board-certified orthodontist will give you a realistic timeline during your free consultation based on your unique situation.
What's the best age for kids to see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early assessment can catch developing problems and determine if Phase 1 early treatment would benefit your child. Many children benefit from early intervention, but some need to wait until more permanent teeth erupt. Schedule your child's free consultation to get expert guidance.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Most major dental insurance plans cover 50% of orthodontic treatment. Coverage limits vary, so we'll review your plan during your free consultation. Even without insurance, our affordable monthly payment plans make braces and Invisalign accessible to Elk Grove Village families.
