Why nobody can quote you a price online

The honest reason a website cannot give you a figure is that orthodontic cost tracks the case, not the product. A mild crowding case and a full bite correction with surgery are not the same purchase.

What we can tell you now is how we structure payment, and that the consultation where you get your real number costs nothing.

What actually moves the price

How much movement is needed

A short course of alignment costs less than a full bite correction. This is the biggest factor.

Which appliance you choose

Metal is the most affordable. Ceramic sits above it. Lingual and aligners are higher again.

How long treatment runs

Longer treatment means more appointments and more materials.

Your insurance

Many plans carry an orthodontic benefit. We will check yours before you commit to anything.
