How much do braces or Invisalign cost?
Orthodontic treatment typically ranges from $5,000 to $8,000 depending on your case, treatment length, and chosen method (metal braces, Invisalign, ceramic braces, etc.). We make treatment affordable with flexible monthly payment plans starting as low as $99–$300/month, and we accept most major insurance plans. Many families find their insurance covers 30–50% of treatment costs. Discuss your specific investment and financing options at your free consultation.
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
Never too old! Adult orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing segments of our practice. Many adults choose discreet Invisalign or ceramic braces to straighten their teeth without the visible appearance of metal braces. With flexible payment plans and modern treatment techniques, adult patients achieve beautiful smile transformations in 12–24 months. Schedule your free consultation to explore discreet options that fit your lifestyle.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes 12–24 months, though this varies by case complexity, your age, and the treatment method you choose. Invisalign and modern braces techniques can sometimes deliver results faster. Early treatment (Phase 1) for children may take 6–12 months followed by Phase 2 comprehensive treatment. Your free consultation will include an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.
