Afforable Orthodontic Care

If you recently learned that orthodontic treatment is in your or your child’s future, don’t worry… you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how affordable orthodontic care is today.

When it comes to paying for braces, you have options.

Do you have insurance to help pay for treatment? For your convenience we will gladly assist you in submitting both predetermination and initial insurance claims pertaining to charges for care rendered in our office. However, please be aware our primary financial relationship is with our patients or their families and not with their respective insurance companies. Final responsibility for collection of benefits from your insurance company rests with the insured party. Our professional services are rendered and charged directly to the patient, or their family and they are responsible for payment of all fees incurred.

How you can afford braces without insurance.

At Theresa L. Skelton Orthodontics, we are sensitive to the fact that people have unique needs in fulfilling their obligations, so we provide the following payment options:

Credit Card: One option is to pay via credit card and pay off your orthodontic treatment through your normal credit card payments. Our office accepts credit card payments through Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and AmericanExpress.

Payment Plan: Dr. Skelton is not willing to let finances stand in the way of treatment. We offer monthly payment options to make your orthodontic expenses more manageable.

Flexible Spending Account: Even if your dental plan does not cover orthodontics, your employer might offer a flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA). The money you put into this account is not taxed, which means your dollars will go further. Contribute the maximum amount and use these funds to pay for expenses not covered by insurance, including braces.

CareCredit: CareCredit is a personal line of credit specifically for health care needs and can be used for many health, beauty, and wellness costs such as dental, medical, vision, and more.

Though orthodontics can come with a higher price tag, you do have many options to help you pay for your or your child’s orthodontic care. Start by having a conversation with Dr. Theresa L. Skelton…then begin your journey towards an improved smile.

New patient exams are always complimentary. If you have any questions about financing or payment options, ask us! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs.
