Frequently Asked Questions
How much do braces or Invisalign cost?
Treatment can be as low as $175-225 per month with down payments starting at $800-1,000. Actual costs vary based on your specific needs and treatment complexity. We work with most insurance companies and offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable for your family. Schedule a free consultation and we’ll provide exact pricing tailored to your situation.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children be seen by age 7. We like to evaluate young patients after the front permanent teeth start to appear, usually between ages 6-8. Early evaluation allows us to monitor development and determine the best time to begin treatment if needed.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment with braces or Invisalign typically takes 12-24 months for comprehensive cases. Phase I early treatment usually lasts 6-9 months. Treatment time varies by patient—some finish early, some go longer, but most are close to the estimated time. We’ll provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Your initial consultation includes photos, a digital panoramic x-ray, often a 3D iTero scan, a thorough examination by Dr. Wendling or Dr. Perry, and a customized treatment plan. There’s absolutely no obligation or charge for this visit.
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
It’s never too late. Approximately 25% of our patients are adults. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and teeth that work better usually look better too. A beautiful smile can improve self-esteem at any age. Our adult patients often tell us how happy they are they didn’t put off treatment.
