Easy Orthodontic Financing

At Dr. Doug Orthodontics, we believe high-quality orthodontic care should be accessible, convenient, and affordable for every patient. Because every smile is unique, the cost of orthodontic treatment depends on factors such as case complexity, appliance type, and expected treatment time.

Our treatment coordinator will work closely with you to review all costs, explain available payment options, and create a financing plan that fits your budget and lifestyle. Our goal is to make the process simple and transparent so you can begin treatment with confidence.

What Flexible Payment Options Do You Offer?

We offer several flexible financing options designed to make orthodontic treatment manageable for individuals and families:

• Interest-free payment plans
• Extended payment plans for additional flexibility
• Paid-in-full discounts of up to 5% for cash or check payments
• Early-bird discount of 7% for qualifying comprehensive braces treatment
• Automatic credit card payments
• Apple Pay and Google Pay
• Online payments for added convenience

Our team will review all available options with you and help create a payment plan that works comfortably within your budget.

What’s Included in Your Orthodontic Treatment Fee?

Your orthodontic investment at Dr. Doug Orthodontics includes comprehensive care throughout your entire treatment journey, such as:

• A complete orthodontic consultation and diagnostic evaluation
• A personalized treatment plan based on your orthodontic needs
• All active treatment visits during orthodontic care
• Orthodontic appliances required during treatment
• Emergency visits related to orthodontic appliances
• Ongoing monitoring to ensure treatment progresses as planned

We believe in providing clear, transparent pricing so you always know what to expect.

What Isn’t Included?

While your treatment fee includes most orthodontic services, certain items are not part of the standard treatment fee:

• Dental care performed by your general dentist, such as cleanings or fillings
• Replacement appliances if lost or damaged due to neglect
• Additional treatment needed due to trauma or lack of appliance care
• Fees resulting from changes in insurance coverage during treatment

If any of these situations arise, our team will review the details with you before proceeding.

Are Monthly Payment Plans Available?

Yes. Many patients prefer to spread the cost of treatment into manageable monthly payments. Our team will help design a payment schedule that fits comfortably within your budget and review all payment details before treatment begins.

How Does Orthodontic Insurance Work?

If your dental insurance includes orthodontic benefits, it may help reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Dr. Doug Orthodontics participates in several popular insurance plans, including:

• Delta Dental
• Cigna PPO
• Guardian PPO
• United Concordia
• United Healthcare PPO
• Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Empire Premium Care Network

Even if we do not participate directly with your plan, many PPO insurance policies allow us to obtain out-of-network benefits that may still significantly reduce your costs.

Our team will verify your benefits, submit claims on your behalf, and help you understand how your insurance applies to orthodontic treatment.

Can Your Team Help Me Understand My Coverage?

Absolutely. Dental insurance can sometimes be confusing, but our experienced team is here to help. We verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and handle all insurance paperwork for you.

If your insurance coverage changes during treatment, any remaining balance becomes the patient’s responsibility. Our team will always communicate clearly and help you understand the next steps.
