Getting Started with Orthodontic Services
At Miami Lakes Orthodontics, our mission is to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! The cost of braces is, in many instances, the biggest obstacle people face when considering whether or not to seek orthodontic treatment. For this reason, we offer a wide variety of payment options, which allow us to help our patients meet their financial needs. Please ask us about financing options, credit card payments, and bank drafts. We thoroughly explain your options so that we can accommodate your needs.
Miami Lakes Orthodontics believes that financial considerations should not obstruct your beautiful smile. At your initial examination, our treatment coordinator will discuss in detail the specific cost of orthodontic treatment. Due to the variety of patient’s needs and treatment options, the cost of orthodontic care varies from patient to patient. Being sensitive to the financial aspect of treatment, our practice:
- Applies discounts for teachers, firefighters, police officers, and military, as well as for full payment at the start of treatment or additional family members undergoing orthodontic treatment with Dr. Briceño Crespi
- Accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express
- Offers in-house payment options with no finance or interest charges. With this option, an initial payment is due at the start of treatment, with the balance paid in monthly installments extending over the treatment time.
- Provides outside financing through Care Credit which offers plans with no down payment and no interest payments for up to 24 months.
- If you have orthodontic coverage in your dental insurance, it may help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for orthodontic treatment. Most orthodontic insurance benefits have a maximum lifetime amount that is separate from regular dental insurance. Please bring your insurance information with you to your first complimentary visit, and we will be happy to verify your coverage.
