About Our Fees

We feel that orthodontic treatment is a worthwhile investment in the future of you or your child's dental and general health. Orthodontic fees can vary from patient to patient depending on the time needed for active correction of the bite problem, as well as the type of braces and auxiliary appliances that may be needed.. When comparing orthodontic fees, one must be careful to be objective. From office to office, the type and quality of materials, actual treatment time, the degree of personalized attention given, staff competence and level of technology, may vary significantly.

In order to make the financial aspect of treatment fit into your budget, we offer the ability to spread the total fee over the estimated time of active treatment. We offer many flexible options to work with you to make orthodontics affordable. In most cases, we require an initial fee of approximately 20-25 % of the total. The balance can be divided, interest free, over the remaining treatment period, either monthly or quarterly. It is important to remember that your individualized payment schedule will be different than the frequency of visits for adjustments.

All of our full treatment fees are all-inclusive. This means that the total fee quoted includes all diagnostic records, appliances, wires, braces, retainers, and includes all of the office visits, and adjustments needed to complete the active and retention phase of care, with no hidden extras, for two years after removal of the braces. The only exception is for replacement of lost or broken appliances or retainers.

Special consideration is given for fees paid for early or interceptive treatment when it comes time for full treatment to start. We do not feel it is fair to charge patients extra if they require two stages of treatment to get the job done.

For your convenience, we gladly accept VISA, MasterCard and Interac for all payments. In addition, we can arrange to automatically electronically withdraw your monthly payments from your bank account.
