The philosophy of this office is to do the best job we can at a fair and reasonable fee and to treat each patient with love and care. Orthodontic fees are based on the amount of work involved. Every fee is not the same. It depends a great deal on the complexity of the case, estimated length of treatment time, cooperation of the patient and other factors. This includes time at the chair, in the laboratory, at the diagnosis desk, etc.
Every effort is made to be fair and reasonable.
For those who do not cooperate fully there may be extra time and appointments involved and therefore some additional expense. We try to give our patients a fairly definite cost so budget plans can be made. We must remain flexible enough to take into account those unforeseen things that sometimes occur. We can give an estimated fee and approximated treatment time at the beginning, but it is not possible to promise it will be a final cost or that treatment will be completed in the estimated time. Fees are a confidential matter between this office and the parents or, in the case of adults, the patients.
