Exploring Payment Options for Your Orthodontic Care

Orthodontic treatment is an investment in your health and confidence, and we understand cost is an important consideration. The good news is that there are multiple ways to make treatment more affordable, including insurance coverage, flexible payment plans, and financing options. Understanding these choices can help you move forward with the care you need while staying within your budget.

At Clemente Orthodontics, we are committed to making high-quality orthodontic care accessible to all patients. Our team will guide you through your payment options, work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits, and offer flexible financing solutions that fit your needs. We believe financial concerns should never prevent you from achieving a healthy, beautiful smile, and we are here to help make treatment as seamless as possible.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Orthodontic Treatment?

Dental insurance can help reduce the cost of orthodontic treatment, but coverage varies based on the specifics of your plan. Many insurance providers offer benefits for braces and Invisalign®, but policies often limit who qualifies and how much they will pay. Understanding your coverage details can help you make informed decisions about your treatment.

Most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic coverage provide:

• Partial coverage: Insurance may cover a percentage of the total cost, typically between 25% and 50%, up to a lifetime maximum.
• Lifetime orthodontic maximum: Unlike general dental benefits that renew annually, orthodontic coverage often has a one-time limit that does not reset.
• Age restrictions: Some plans only cover orthodontic treatment for patients under 18 or 19, while others may offer adult coverage.
• Network limitations: Some policies require treatment from an in-network provider to receive full benefits.

Before starting treatment, it’s essential to review your insurance policy or speak with your provider to understand what is covered. Our team can assist in verifying your benefits, submitting claims, and maximizing your coverage to make treatment more affordable. Our team also works with all insurance providers and offers complimentary benefits checks to help you maximize your coverage. We handle the claims process on your behalf, ensuring you get the most from your orthodontic benefits.

Flexible Payment Plans and Financing Options

Orthodontic treatment is an important investment, and we understand cost is a major consideration. That’s why we offer flexible payment options to make treatment accessible for all patients. Whether you have insurance, need a monthly payment plan, or want to use an FSA or HSA, there are solutions to fit your budget.

Some of the most common ways to pay for treatment include:

• Family plan discounts: If an immediate family member has received treatment at Clemente Orthodontics, additional family members are eligible for a discount.
• Third-party financing: We accept CareCredit®, a healthcare credit card that allows you to finance orthodontic care with low or no-interest payment plans for qualified applicants.
• Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA): Orthodontic treatment qualifies for reimbursement through these tax-advantaged accounts, allowing you to use pre-tax dollars to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

At Clemente Orthodontics, we are committed to making high-quality care as stress-free and affordable as possible. If you have any questions about financing or insurance, our team is happy to assist you in finding the best option for your needs.
