Quality orthodontic care is about more than just aesthetics,
a mouth that is crowded or contains crooked teeth can hamper your overall
dental health. And let’s face it…most people aren’t born with straight teeth
and a perfect bite.
Braces can correct moderately to severely crooked teeth, as well as underbites and overbites. Having crowded or crooked teeth can inhibit good brushing and flossing, making it harder to keep teeth and gums healthy. Furthermore, severe overbites or underbites left uncorrected can cause jaw pain. Proper orthodontic treatment can prevent you and/or your child from experiencing mouth pain or discomfort later in life, not to mention, promote better self-confidence.
Some people hesitate to get braces because paying for them
can be surprisingly difficult. For most
families, paying for braces can be a significant investment. That investment
can become even larger when multiple family members need braces. At Kemp & Rice Orthodontics our goal is to provide
you and your family with affordable, high-quality orthodontic treatment that
fits your budget.
The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the
length and complexity of treatment.
But with some smart planning and budgeting the cost for orthodontic
treatment will be easier to manage.
- Get Covered - If you don’t have dental insurance, look into plans that include orthodontics.
- Know Your Insurance Policy - If you have health insurance, it may include dental treatment, and possibly, orthodontic treatment. So contact your insurance company to check your benefits.
- Consider Credit – In many cases, the fee for orthodontic treatment can be paid via Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. You may also want to look into getting a Healthcare specific Credit Card.
While braces can be a significant investment, understanding
the various payment options available can help families to finance orthodontic
treatment while looking forward to a bright future with a beautiful smile.
