flexible payment plans

paying for orthodontics.

We are happy to offer financing through Cherry to help make your child's orthodontic care more affordable. A quick, easy application and flexible monthly payment options mean you can start treatment right away and spread the cost over time.

The consultation itself is free, so you can find out what is needed and what it costs before you decide anything.

How the plan is agreed

  • Free consultation. We look at how the teeth and jaw are developing.
  • A written plan. Options and costs, laid out before anything begins.
  • Choose how to pay. In full, through insurance where it applies, or monthly through Cherry.

[NEEDS: typical treatment cost ranges, or a statement that costs are quoted per case. The current payment calculator page shows unfilled template fields to visitors, so it should not be linked until it is fixed.]
