Insurance, Medicaid and what else helps

Dental insurance

Many plans carry a lifetime orthodontic benefit. We work with most of them and will check yours before you commit to anything.

We accept Medicaid

Yes, we accept Medicaid. Call (210) 714-5525 and our team will confirm your coverage before your first visit.

FSA and HSA

Orthodontic treatment is generally an eligible expense. Check with your plan administrator.

What changes the price

Four things, in roughly this order of importance:

  • How much movement your case needs. A short alignment course and a full bite correction are different treatments.
  • Which appliance you choose. Metal is the most affordable. Ceramic sits above it. Lingual and aligners are higher again.
  • How long treatment runs. More months means more appointments and more materials.
  • Your insurance benefit. Where one exists, it comes off the total.
