How Much Do Braces Cost? Flexible, Interest-Free Options at Fallsgrove Orthodontics
"How much will this cost?" is often the first question families ask, and it's an important one. Between school, activities, groceries and everything else, we know your budget has a lot to cover.
At Fallsgrove Orthodontics, Dr. Boroun and our team believe cost should never stand between you and a healthy smile. That's why we offer flexible, interest-free payment options, accept most PPO insurance plans and FSA funds, and offer a sibling discount. We're not just here to straighten teeth. We're here to build a community of families in Rockville and beyond, and to make your orthodontic journey as easy as possible.
Is orthodontic treatment a luxury? Not at all.
Many people think of braces as an expensive, cosmetic extra. In reality, orthodontic treatment is one of the best long-term investments you can make in your dental health.
Consider this: a single dental implant can often cost as much as an entire orthodontic treatment. An implant replaces one tooth. Orthodontic treatment improves your whole smile and bite, and can help protect your natural teeth for life. Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease. A healthy bite spreads chewing forces evenly, reducing uneven wear, chipping and strain on individual teeth. Treating problems early can prevent more complex and costly dental work later.
It also helps to look at what your treatment fee actually covers. Over roughly two years, you'll see Dr. Boroun every few weeks for adjustments and progress checks. On top of that, we're always here for comfort visits when a wire pokes, a bracket comes loose or something just doesn't feel right. Your fee typically covers:
• Your initial exam, records and personalized treatment plan
• Your braces or aligners
• Regular appointments every few weeks, for about two years
• Comfort and emergency visits whenever you need them
• Your retainers and follow-up after treatment
That's years of personal care, not a one-time procedure.
Flexible ways to pay
Every family's situation is different, so we offer several options and help you find the one that fits.
Interest-free payment plans
We offer multiple in-office, interest-free payment plans. You can spread the cost of treatment over monthly payments that fit your budget, with no interest and no surprises. We'll walk you through the options at your consultation and help you choose a down payment and monthly amount that work for you.
Insurance
We accept most PPO dental insurance plans. Many plans include orthodontic benefits for children, and some cover adults too. Our team will check your benefits, explain your coverage in plain language and file claims for you, so you can focus on your treatment instead of paperwork.
FSA
Orthodontic treatment is an eligible medical expense, so you can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay with pre-tax dollars. That can make a real difference in your overall cost. We're happy to provide any paperwork you need.
Sibling discount
Have more than one child in treatment? We offer a sibling discount because we know orthodontic care often runs in the family. Ask our team how it applies to your family.
An investment that lasts a lifetime
The results of orthodontic treatment go far beyond a straight smile. You're investing in a healthier bite, easier cleaning and fewer dental problems down the road. With consistent retainer wear, those results can last a lifetime. Spread over all those years, few health investments offer more value.
