The appointment when you get your appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) usually takes from 30 to 90 minutes. You'll then see us at regular intervals — 4 to 8 weeks apart for an adjustment. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and ask that you
extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment,
please notify us immediately. Cancel only if it is an emergency.
It is difficult to reschedule you since most appointments
are made 4 to 8 weeks in advance.
The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's
problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options
before treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit
different budgets, including a no-down-payment option.
We also accept assignment from most insurance plans, and
file the necessary papers to the insurance company. We
work hard to make orthodontics affordable.
In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining
the highest level of professional care, we have established
this financial policy:
- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment,
we will offer a fee discount.
- To fit your individual
needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend
your payments over a period of months.
- For your convenience,
we accept payment by VISA, MASTERCARD, American Express,
and Discover.
- In cases of serious delinquency, treatment
will be discontinued, although we will make every effort
to accommodate patients with temporary difficulties.
If you have insurance, we will help you to determine the
coverage you have available. We ask that you assign your
insurance benefit to us. Professional care is provided
to you, our patient, and not to an insurance company. Thus,
the insurance company is responsible to the patient and
the patient is responsible to the doctor. We will help
in every way we can in filing your claim and handling insurance
questions from our office on your behalf.
