The cost of orthodontic treatment varies, depending on the severity of your case and the treatment you choose. Before your treatment begins, we will lay out all the fees and payment options on the table.
INSURANCE OPTIONS
If you have orthodontic insurance, please bring all your insurance information with you to the first consultation. Each insurance company has different policies, so we will need all the information to accurately create your treatment plan. We will do everything we can to maximize your orthodontic insurance and get you closer to the smile you want for yourself or your child.
FINANCING OPTIONS
We understand that our patients may be in different financial situations, but we believe that quality orthodontic treatment should be accessible to everyone. We don’t want to let your budget get in the way of your oral health! That’s why Solar Orthodontics offers a Zero Interest Payment Plan for our patients. There is no interest, no set-up fees, and no admin fees. At Solar Orthodontics we also direct bill to your insurance, so all you need to worry about is not forgetting to floss!
If this seems like an option you’d be interested in, we encourage you to consider taking advantage of this Zero Interest Payment Plan when you are choosing your orthodontic treatment. Please ask about our financing options when you come to Solar Orthodontics for your initial consultation.

Retainers
Retainers are dental appliances that aid in straightening the teeth, particularly after braces. Wearing a retainer can help keep the teeth aligned and prevent them from shifting back to their original position after braces come off, making them an important tool in orthodontics.
When Retainers Are Used
Retainers are most often used to maintain the position of your teeth after braces are removed. Once an orthodontist removes your braces, your teeth may begin to shift back to their original position. To prevent this, your orthodontist will likely recommend you wear a retainer after your braces come off for several months to a year. Be sure to ask about the specific length of time you’ll need to wear a retainer for it to be effective, as treatment times vary.
Another use for retainers is to slowly move the teeth into a more desirable position. However, they can only be used for small corrections that don’t require traditional orthodontic treatments, such as braces.
In some cases, orthodontic patients will only be given a single retainer for the top arch of teeth or the bottom arch of teeth. In other cases, retainers for both the top and bottom arches might be necessary.
